- Debt-Fueled Growth
- The Aging of America’s Taxpayers
- The Missing $20 trillion

There has not been a time in my life when the idea and possibilities of social struggle have been so deeply a part of every community and social network in America. Yet, in many ways, our social struggle is flailing about, looking for a path without finding one.
We understand what is wrong immediately in front of us, but have a hard time seeing the larger forces in the more distant context.
A variety of trends, none of them new, are slowly shifting our society toward various outcomes, none of them good. The ones I’ll discuss are only examples, not all of those trends:
- Debt-fueled Growth
- Aging Taxpayers
- Ever-increasing Offshore Sheltered Tax Funds
- Relentlessly Increasing Complexity
