Tom Friedman staked his reputation out with the bestseller The World is Flat. Click on the link to read his latest thoughts on how the US is doing. I have posted articles on the poor results shown by American students on history and economics. Friedman goes on to make the point that the Bejing airport offers wi fi and cell service but La Guardia does not. Travel is down to the US and MSFT is opening offices in Canada. As always, Friedman is a world traveler with a world perspective.

Unfortunately, I agree with his assessment of the state of the United States. We are so busy fighting, that we are no longer growing. We are like that person who is always angry and defensive, that nobody wants to be around them. I do believe that there are people out there that wish to do us harm, but in focusing on them we are harming ourselves more than they are. It is a mentality that must change before we can begin to recover as a whole.

Combine this with the low growth rate of America, the increasing power of China, and the weakness of the dollar to the Euro. It makes me worry and wonder where America will be in 20- 30- years.
