1. 0utsouring 2. lack of manufacturing jobs becuase of number 1 and 3. 2 and 1 combined to create less american made and bought products thus creating a stable american economy. 4. weakened dollar since the bush junior's administration. 5. major growth in the divide between the rich and poor in the u.s 6. less value put on eduction(k-12) and making higher ed. almost unreachable with massive piles of debt there is more education debt than credit card debt currently in the u.s.
