What exactly is there then that will generate the growth necessary to pull the US back up?

I don't see anything and absent that how is it going to happen?
Boeing is the big one left. That and munitions (oh boy).

Even silicon valley is saying we're in trouble if we don't improve our science education as Asia is prepared to eat our lunch in that category.
