It's not rocket science to figure out that if you continue to put garbage in all you get in return is garbage out.
Capitalism and Communism both produce the same garbage, but from opposite sides of the social spectrum.
The Chinese wised up to that and were smart enough to go towards the middle of the spectrum by incorporating capitalism into their system even though, politically, they remain a Communist country.
If the US wants to stay on top (or at least near it) of the economic pile it needs to follow the Chinese lead and look at ways of moving towards a middle ground and implementing (dare I say it) socialist policies.
Here's my suggestion;
Both youth and adult unemployment can be resolved by creating "corps" similar to the peace corp and financing it with a small (but in the big picture significant) contribution (tax deductible charitable, of course) mandated on everyone making over a million dollars a year (be it by crook or by hook), with no exceptions. Sort of a redistribution of wealth - work fare program. These corps of young (and old alike) can be trained and paid to provide social services of various forms based on the specific need identified in the population(s) being serviced.
It's a win-win.
