Who is going to do the bulk of the heavy lifting that makes America great?

Those who are in school now training as engineers, and many of those who are bound to become inventors. They'll continue to invent and make the machines capable of heavy, precision, repetative, lifting; hopefully at a fraction of the cost of human labor (A good, and well known, 19th century example is Eli Whitney's Cotton Gin). The tidal wave of Union Workers can be felt already but one often forgets that there are always other alternatives(different job; re-education; etc) for a displaced worker.

America either advances technologically or they remain stagnent. I'm hoping for the former, because the latter means we could eventually relapse into some sort of Mad Max world.

That is our future, our good future if America can keep those that would like to debase our culture in every way possible in check. I still feel that we can keep our innovation alive but sometimes I have my doubts as socialism progresses in our country.
