A real solution would require a major change in the way the USA functions,
the qualities of the population of the US and probably a change in 
the basic human animal.  This and a massive amount of data suggests
that the US is going to drop further relative to "the world".  Forcasting
accurately is nearly impossible but predicting trends is possible.  Entropy
always increases in the real world.
