their first long run on sentance covers the issue:
"it is time that we take a deeper look at the root causes"
BZZZZZ! WRONG! More people make more profit patching things AFTER the issue than doing it right in the first place. Good luck with that America. Wake up and smell the bad decisions.
The time to look at ROOT CAUSES is BEFORE Greed has become your number one motivator

Who has benefited from free trade? Big corporations have while the American worker has lost their jobs. Who has made big contributions to politicians? Big business has bought and paid for both sides of the aisle. Once they own the politician by making huge contributions they control the decision making process of things such as this. Try to find anything made in America now days, granted a few odds and ends are but most everything is imported.

Unfortunately, I see this problem running much deeper than the "Great Depression" did.
What I predict we'll find and see, is that those who are in charge are still getting paid. Much like the banks getting a bail-out and then giving bonuses to their executive staff. This will, in turn, prevent the decision makers from changing their ways as quickly as the nation needs them to, if they change their ways at all. Add to the mix that outsourcing jobs to the "cheaper" overseas workers will be looked at as a potential savings by those corporations and companies, even more often. Finally, the fact that the average American can't stick to anything in terms of boycotting anything and can't muscle Washington into doing anything will be the last straw in our overall demise as nation and world leader.
Basically, it will boil down to the average American worker finding a way to make it (read: life) work. The rich will continue to get richer and the poor will remain poor but will be joined by the former middle-class who is just trying to survive while dodging layoffs. Too many companies and corporations have a strangle hold on the many markets we as people need to live the way we currently live. There isn't much room, if any, for an American grown company with American laborers to put down new roots. The government is proving that lobbying, regardless of what they claim, is alive and well. We can see that to be the case as they are willing to bail out companies who should be going belly up allowing them to stay in business versus making room for new companies that care about staying in the black, the customer, and the business model - given any certain economic pulse.
Welcome to the Socialist States of America, folks. We have a front row seat for the watching party.
See you in the bread line soon.
(Sure, it may be an over-reaction but play out the current state of affairs and see how far off it may be)

What you are describing is not socialist it is capitalist.

I stand corrected.
Socialism would distribute wealth more "fairly" or "evenly" versus the wealthy just leaving the others to fend for themselves, as capitalism would.
Capitalist States of America just doesn't sound as "evil".
How bout Greedy Capitalist States of America 
America better wake up, because tomorrow morning we'll be one of those third world countries.

Maybe if we hit third world status, we can get our jobs back.???
Last I checked it was called governmental corruption. The seats in the senate and congress belong to the people, not the highest bidder!
And they only benefit will be " you get to work "
At what cost? is it worth it????
