Yes and the energy that releases for creative enterprise is fantastic: < It took 90% of our population to feed us back in 1776. Now it takes 3%. > With billions working on millions of new things, fed by those 3%, instead of a few hundred thousand doing the heavy intellectual lifting a century or two ago when nearly everyone had to simply work at agriculture for a living, the rate of development is fantastic. Combine that with the Flynn Effect and synergy across borders and the speed of Cyberspace enabling those billions to do more faster and access Google instantly, the sky's the limit.

Yet people have managed to get in a mess of debt and recrimination with economic foundering as Big Brother bleeds those billions dry.

They may be American companies, but most of the labor is done overseas. The steel and cotton industry are all but dead and most finished products bought in US stores are manufactured in China or Korea. I don't agree with the position that this is good for America and by no stretch of the imagination can it be called self sufficient which is a national quality I consider of high importance.
