O.K. your forecast and thoughts on what will happen in 2013, page 1

The United States is rapidly becoming the very first "post-industrial" nation on the globe. All great economic empires eventually bleed themselves to death or die in war; some become fat and lazy and squander the great wealth that their forefathers have left them. The pace at which America is accomplishing this is absolutely amazing. It was America that was at the forefront of the industrial revolution. It was America that showed the world how to mass produce everything from automobiles to televisions and airplanes. It was the great American manufacturing base that crushed Germany and Japan in World War II.

But now we are witnessing the De-industrialization of America .. Hundreds of factories have left the United States in the past decade alone. Millions upon millions of manufacturing jobs have been lost in the same time period. Once upon a time America could literally out produce the rest of the world combined. Today that is no longer true. If the DE-industrialization of America continues at this current pace, what possible kind of a future are we going to be leaving to our children?

Any great nation throughout history has been "great at making things". So if the United States continues to allow its manufacturing base to erode at this staggering pace how in the world, can the U.S. continue to consider itself to be a great nation? We have created the biggest debt bubble in the history of the world through mismanagement of the banking system and the federal reserve. Every single month America goes into more debt and every single month America gets poorer. Update; the debt is a couple of trillion worse now since this writing.
