I don't believe it even comes close to making up for the lost wages. It would seem to me that the only realisitc approach for the future of our country iss to become a nation of investors. Sure, there will always be jobs in the service sector, educators, law enforcment, etc. , but with manufacturing gone, the general population is going to have to do something.
Imagine ......a nation of day traders and speculators.

I also find it peculiar that many people think that investing is for the rich only.

Yes, in the personal sphere, investing is the rational strategy. Unfortunately, successful investing requires capital, some brains and lots of luck. These three items are generally considered to be (inherently) in short supply.

But for the nation, I don't think that is good enough - since the USA will have (and are) growing disparity. If you grow disparity large enough, things get ugly. And it will be America the beautiful no more.
