The biggest problem the US faces is population versus jobs that pay well enough to keep a family and raise enough taxes. If that trend isn't reversed their will be real problems.
Paul, it did reverse. We have a labor shortage, and it is only going to get worse. The next ten years are demographic disaster here. Tons of newly retired and not many new workers.
Don't drink the kool-aid. The big issues facing the US and Europe is declining growth and population, combined with large groups of pensioners. It will even out as we get used to it but the change is going to be the issue.
