Exporting America's manufacturing base and other jobs to China and beyond. You just can't have a weathy nation without well paying middle-class jobs. China is eating our lunch.

Neither. Demagogues and starry-eyed idealogues have done the most damage.

Greed.

Not just now but going way back. Not only what it's done to us economically but look around you in most cases and instead of seeing open land or even mom and pop stores you see MacMansions and big box stores. Malls. People are never satisfied--they want MORE. Corporate greed, personal greed, greed on all levels. Political greed. Maybe someone else can express this better but I can't do it without writing a book!

People who don't understand the history of who and what caused damage to America and then repeat it over again.

"Liberals" include MLK, Cesar Chavez, Abe Lincoln, Jane Addams, FDR, etc. and they've caused the most damage to America? Have you people EVER taken a college level history course?
