There are a lot of things that contributed to today's economy, and you can't look at the status of today, without looking at the past.

And while I agree with you on that point, hasn't it been mentioned for a long while that unless the US did things differently, we could have avoided the economic mess that we are in now.
There have been warnings since at least 2004 (we can google and see what we come up with) that we were headed in that direction.
Kinda like driving a car past several signs saying the bridge is out and wondering why now your car is headed for a rocky bottom.
