We survived the financial crisis after WW2 because we had an industrial-manufacturing base in place. We were at that point in time an exporting nation.
Now we export only wealth and import poverty, We are a nation with NO visible means of support!

  We do export lots of guns.....hmmmm a nation that relies on exporting terror as it's only visible means of support? I guess that's not too reassuring either.

  Is there an analogy with the rich folks that live quite well for many generations by only managing money?
  
  Very few rich people actually produce anything.

      Could you elaborate on your statement? What is your version of the "green movement"?

        We could start with shutting down the steel mills, the saw mills, the very things that made us a super power. They pollute so move them offshore where we can't see them.

        WRONG and WRONG
        
        The steel mills were shut down due to low labor costs in other countries.
        
        Saw mills are still going strong; the U.S. is a net exporter of lumber, although the amount exported is decreasing. According to the lumber industrey this decrease is a result of increased competition from other countries (notably Russia)

        Actually we do have newer more efficient steel mills that don't pollute nearly as much. I'm sure that we could do better if China would stop subsidizing their steel industry as well as their other industries.

      The economically influential wealth has done a much better job of exporting U.S. industry by using low cost labor in other countries.

  When government stopped spending in 1945 the private sector took off - that ended the depression.
