2) Lost World Prestige	What This Means	The Political Side of the Story
World respect down dramatically since Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan plus we let Syria use Gas and use drones to kill civilians.	Cooperation and compromise will be lessened	Some would argue we won the cold war, Western Europe's wouldn't form a coalition to solve Syria, and the fact that many Americans do not want to be the world' policeman but to spend at home.
Impotence of Vietnam Syndrome which disappeared after Gulf 1 is back and the US can't lead the world to a brighter future.	World doesn't trust U.S. to help and protect them.	Would some want to concentrate on America's Problems
Failed nation building in Somalia where an embryonic Al Qaeda hurt.		Would some want to concentrate on America's Problems
Russia again challenges in Eastern Europe with oil revenue and a leader bring back Russia's self confidence.		Supporting NATO expansion after the Reagan Gorbachev detente was too much for a nation that lost 22 million people in WW2.
China now challenges the US in Southeast Asia.		Is more effort from Japan and South Korea needed?
9/11 showed U.S. Domestic weakness.	U.S has a new major enemy	Europe, Russia, Asia should be primary battleground, we should join them.
America's education is not meeting the needs of many.	Middle class future is in doubt.	Jobs Disappeared and education did not consider her Leaders Educational Advise or consider Leaders Educational Observations Throughout History.

3) Economy Dominates the World	What This Means	The Political Side of the Story
U.S. per capita GDP eight times greater than China’s.	Economy lets U.S. do a of good stuff	China's economy almost equal in US meaning really high military spending makes her problematic.
World’s largest exporter of goods and services and food.	Business competes successfully	US still subsidizes agriculture. See Government Agriculture Subsidies
American Entrepreneurialism think of next not last accomplishments.	US usually leads world advancement	Profits have made the top tenth of one percent very wealthy with little increase in their average tax rate.
Deep and efficient capital markets allow a dynamic economy.	New stuff "Fracking" financed quickly and efficiently	Some would question financial market stability. See Economic Normality 1945 2015
Technology innovation is second to none	Good jobs and profit abound	Dearth of Middle Class Jobs and Stagnate Middle Class Income
US has eight of the largest ten tech companies by capitalization. Editors note: Bloomberg reports that for the first time it now has the top five.	America Voters Will Determine Their Future	Successful companies mean little if the World Changed and Good Jobs Disappeared
American companies are “leading the way” in breakout technologies like 3D manufacturing, artificial intelligence, Nano technology, cloud computing, robotics, big data, advanced material science ...		These technologies have made Educating the Class of 2034 difficult.
465 billion dollars in US RD spend for 2014 was 30% of the world total will lead to future US strength		It better as Entitlements are under funded, we need to improve Child and Youth Well-Being deal with the Federal Deficit, settle Poverty Controversies and end Politics Being About the Money.
Demographics are favorable in an aging world as US median age in 2o5o will be 40.6 and China's 46.3.
Seventeen of the top twenty universities are in the U.S. but forty percent being foreign national is a problem	Education best serves our Best who get the Best	Some would say the US schools are too dependent on foreign students and are not serving many deserving young people.
