The United States is facing economic disaster on a scale few nations have ever experienced. Most people are unaware of the easily observable signs of this emerging 1______. While we persist in our superpower mentality, we have quietly become a second-class country in many respects.
We no longer produce what we need to sustain ourselves, we import much more than we export, and we are selling off our assets and taking on massive debts to sustain a standard of living we can no longer afford. Not only was this not the way we became a superpower but it is a sure way to lose this status.
Foreign countries are using the 2_____ earned through our trade deficits to buy many of our strategic companies. Over the past 10 years, foreign interests have purchased an unprecedented $8 Trillion worth of US 3________.
The game plan of our international competitors is to render us completely dependent on foreign 4________, innovation, and financing. In losing domestic self-sufficiency, national security and leverage in foreign affairs will suffer greatly.
We are failing even to acknowledge predatory foreign trade practices undermining US 5_____. Instead we encourage US manufacturers to design, engineer, and produce in third world markets like Mexico and China.

Inflation & the US dollar
In recent decades, consumers and TV pundits have bemoaned "the cost of living". We here about daily expenses for hard-working folks keep rising and that wages are not keeping up with inflation. It wasn't that long ago that the hand-wringing went on and on about how there are fewer and fewer "one-income" households. Politicians wax on pompously about how families need "two incomes now to afford what a single income used to provide". 1_______ is simply government printing too many dollars as they chase the same basket of goods and services. Yes, there is a more precise/formal definition but that should suffice.
The bottom line is that managing the currency (printing dollars) is the government's responsibility. The government has power over the currency and we as participants in the US economy have little 2_____ since we are forced to use this currency for most of our daily 3______. But it stands to reason that the more you produce of something, the less each unit is worth. "Inflating" the currency doesn't mean that the cost of goods and services go up; it's that the value of each dollar keeps shrinking because you 4_____ too many dollars. All things being equal, If I bought something last year for $1 and this year it costs me $2, it isn't because that item doubled in value; it's because the 5____ of my money went down.
The value of the US dollar since the creation of the Federal Reserve system (effectively America's central bank; a government entity) in 1913 has fallen by nearly 99%. Inflation is basically a hidden tax since you end up paying more without getting more. Who is causing this massive inflation? Who is debauching the value of our currency? Government.
