And here is the problem in a nutshell...

To paraphrase Ben Franklin, and I am sure many others:
If we do tomorrow what we did today,
We will get tomorrow what we got today.

We will indeed have increasing problems of systemic
unemployment, increasing alianization, and a perminent
underclass under the current socioeconomic regeime.

Most fortunately, the current economic and political system
[these are highly convoluated] of the United States has
*NOT* been decreed by god, or is it the result of immutable
laws of physics, and indeed it has mutated into its present
form only within the last one or two generations.
"Globalization" [or more exactly the rise of the sovereign
supranational corporation] was formally created only in
1994/5 by the ratification of the NAFTA
http://tinyurl.com/yq9zge and WTO http://tinyurl.com/4bvk7n
treaties, soon to be expanded by the TPP.

One example of the people attempting to gain control of
their socioeconomy are the Spanish.

" MADRID (Reuters) - The sudden rise of a new
anti-establishment party has transformed Spanish politics a
year before a general election, forcing the center-right
government to veer away from austerity and the left-leaning
opposition to scramble for new leaders.

In just a year since its founding, the party "Podemos" - We
Can - has overturned the two party system in place since
Spain embraced democracy in the 1970s. It is now polling
around even with the ruling People's Party (PP) and main
opposition Socialists, and has even led in some polls."
