Over-simplification. I think it's largely a result of our national assumption that the big life we've been living in America is ordained by God and will continue indefinitely. As a result we've been a gradual path of consuming more and more, getting fat and lazy in the process, while our production has flat-lined or worse. And so we buy Chinese goods. Their workforce is hungrier. The prices much lower. And money leaves the country and doesn't come back unless we borrow it back. Oops.
And of course we simply must spend as much on defense as the rest of the world combined, why it just has to be that way. To do otherwise is to surrender to communism.
