The uneasy feeling amongst Americans is not necessarily that America will decline to third rate status. It seems to be that America will remain globally powerful while gradually disenfranchising and marginalizing its middle class. How much of this trend is intentional on the part of the ruling elites vs. how much is an inevitable outcome of a global population competing for fewer and fewer resources is hard to tell. But the feeling of disconnect between those who make real policy and the masses is present and growing.
