Wrong Causes

"i) failed US education policies"
US education is ONLY questionable at the elementary and high school levels. US colleges have been and continue to be the best in the world. And, as it stands, half of our population has some college experience. A quarter of our population has a bachelor's degree.

"ii) failed labor policies"
As previously mentioned, our workers highly educated. On top of that, our labor force is the most productive in the world. We only have 2 weeks off per year. Even then, not everyone takes all their vacation time. Our corruption rate is extremely low compared to China and especially India, making for a more honest and trustworthy labor force overall.

"iii) failure of US citizens to study science and technology."
The enrollment in computer science increased during the tech bubble and peaked in 2001, a full year AFTER the bubble burst. This is an EFFECT of the decline in the US, not a CAUSE.

The rise in other "counteries" is only in India and China. Europe is doing worse than the US. And Japan is only now getting better after 15 years of terrible performance.

India is going up because they've convinced American CEOs that their "native" English speakers are cheaper than the equivalent worker in the US. Nevermind the fact that although they speak English "natively", few Americans can understand them. Nevermind the fact that Americans are the most productive workers in the world.

China is going up because of manipulation of their currency, cheap labor, free loans, free factories, free land, and free electricity to businesses who move there, and outright theft of US intellectual property. That IP not only includes copies of CDs and software, but whole products, services, and business. They copied a whole KFC store for chrissakes!
