US would necessarily require lowered wages, arrogant and self-entitled Americans, egged on by their govt representatives, decided it would be better to stomp their feet, hold their ground and let those jobs disappear in favor of government assistance.
Perfectly able-bodied and able-minded citizens being willing (and EAGER!) to allow government to subsidize their existence instead of working at any wage they can find - exacerbated by govt setting a wage floor which made the US uncompetitive for unskilled labor jobs.
In summary - 'Muricans decided they were entitled to an ever-increasing standard of living and voted (literally and figuratively) to allow govt to fund that standard through debt rather than lower themselves to competing with an emerging world market.
