This demonstrates precisely how the lack of willingness to study the situation, evaluate the alternatives, and use our only democratic right--the right to a vote--got us into the pickle we're in now. Until more Americans take the time to do that, the situation will worsen, until the Chinese or Japanese or Saudis change it for us.
