U.S. "strength," as seen by the large capitalists, doesn't necessarily conflict with a steady decline for the bulk of the poulation. Transferring manufacturing abroad doesn't affect profits! And it's not being allowed to affect military strength to keep those nations properly "friendly to business." Nor is it interfering with building a stronger and stronger repressive machinery at home (war on drugs; war on terrorism; homeland security, etc). Why should we expect capitalism or capitalists to be concerned with problems that don't affect the capitalist system or the u.s. capitalist class?
