The economy lost its steam b/c we believe in a 'free market' where the rest of the world like china get to have signifigant trade barriers for us, but sell for free here.

But... thats only b/c of our workers thinking they deserved to live like kings when in fact it is menial labor and should be paid as such.
Agreed. There is a level of laziness/entitlement that seems to have infected the U.S. work force.

Additionally, the trade/tariff/tax policies need to be seriously overhauled. Other counties impose heavy grief on imported U.S. goods, where by contrast, we do not respond in kind.
