The decline started after Silver coins stopped being produced in 1965, then the gold backing was removed from the US Dollar in 1971. After 1971 the idiots created the EPA for wealth absorbing jobs versus wealth producing jobs.
After 1981 the off shoring picked up speed. Then back around 1989 they moved the factories from Japan etc all to China.
Also the decline started after 1969 when the Americans gleefully started buying imported cars, then in 1984 no more American TV sets. No more American tools machinery or even our clothing. The leaders gave away our factory.
