Something wrong.
The USA was the top economic power at the end of World War II. (Changing of the Guard!)
The situation has changed.
The US economy is still the largest national economy in the world.[7] Its gross domestic product (GDP) was estimated as $13.8 trillion in 2007.[8]
BUT, there is an awful lot of debt.

The problem is not lack of aggression. The USA has always acted aggressively to support its economic interests.
The U.S. has slaughtered millions of civilians in the Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Japan, France, Germany, Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Panama, Grenada, Libya, Lebanon, Iraq, Sudan, Afghanistan, Somalia, Bosnia and Yugoslavia...
"With the direct support of the U.S. government (fascists) have committed the torture and genocide of additional millions of helpless, civilian people in Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Haiti, Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil, China, the Philippines, East Timor, Indonesia, the Congo, Angola, Zaire, Mozambique, Palestine, Israel, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, Iraq, Pakistan and Iran." - The United States Government is the World’s Greatest Terrorist Organization

So, what went wrong with the US economy?
1. America's leaders have been mad and bad.
Crooked politicians have been elected by pressing certain buttons, like 'Christian', 'the flag' and 'patriotism'.
Crooked businessmen have risen to the top of corporations by being clever psychopaths.
And there is a suspicion that you do not get to the top unless you are linked to the fascists in the military, and their various friends.
2. The USA has wasted its money on military aggression.
The USA has thrown money away in wars in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, people like the Japanese and the Germans have been making money.
3. The USA has come to be associated with names like Enron and WorldCom and Long Term Capital management.
Iraq
Michael C Feltham, at Axis of Logic (Changing of the Guard!), 12 October 2008, wrote:
"As the US economy has been crippled by takeover kings and Acquisition and Merger mania and well established old reliable businesses have been dismantled, asset stripped and bought and sold like Hershey bars, America has neatly reversed itself into a one-way street. Both blue and white-collar jobs have been shed in the dubious cause of efficiency.
"These have been replaced by McJobs: the concept of service and retail activities, yet at wage and salary scales so far beneath before, that tens of millions of Americans cannot now afford decent healthcare insurance, let alone save for their old age.

That's what happens when the latest and greatest Jewish mafia- the Zionists - control your country. Check out my main blog at: http://zionofascism.wordpress.com
Those in the upper echelon will be protected from the depredations of globalization and will actually benefit by the hordes of cheap laborers who will be made available to to create from them greater profit margins and the willing to staff their homes as they did during "the Old Order" before World War I. The rest of us will be left to flounder, bewildered, among the hordes that are flowing across our borders and policies being foisted upon us against our consent.
