"legitimate concerns that the U.S. could catch the "Japanese" disease and endure a lost decade in terms of normal economic growth." Only difference is that Japan is gracefully returning to the insignificance it came from. It has never a pretense of creating an empire post WWII. Thus the population simply accpet the return. It is still a 5 trillion dollar economy (not sure of of the % of gambling is of that GDP 5 trillion) but it soon no longer matter. US will be a different story. It has an empire to lose.. It has to admit that not only USSR collapsed. The US collapsed too. Only delayed the fall by a couple of decades. Which in its turn makes it hard to coem back again. The Russians, in the toher hand, have already gone through two decades of post collapse rearrangement and are in this respacet in better standing than the US. The US advanatage vis a vis Russia is that they have stuff to sell and people would like to buy. Not sure how much it would be the right price though.
