Marty, it’s been in decline for a very long time. Due to the things you mention, but even more so now. Working at jobs no “American” wants is what keeps the economy going, not to mention the taxes paid by immigrant workers. Keeping the wages low for bigger profits for the top has weakened the economy immeasurably. Minimum wage in Denmark’s McDonald’s is about $22 with health benefits!

By 2050, given the current demographic....1.6, the disparities with those collecting Social Security and those fewer working to support Social Security will potentially bankrupt the system. Republicans are now thinking of ways to cut back on Social Security, Medicare etc. And of course, Republicans have always stacked the deck to favor the wealthy who underwrite their politics and stunts.
