Our Growing Inactive Population: Demographics and the Economy

I do not disagree but I will say this: There is nothing new under the sun. The people of the Roaring Twenties were not much different. By 1946 they were called the Greatest Generation. I had to think a lot about leaving the country in 2007 to avoid the pain. Nope, not doing it. If America was such a horrid place to be why is it that people globally still wish to exodus there own nations to come here? However, there truly is a leadership vaccum as that 1960's crowd has taken over Washington with there baked right out (literally) idealogies. I see emerging leadership my own age of 35-40 stepping up, although we're locked out for a short time to make a larger impact in the short term. I see gentlemen that are 75+ in the business community giving a huge final push to help America. It's not all bleak and I am getting a bit tired of the globe trashing America. Without us you would all be speaking German or Russian. Have a nice day.
