the problem is far older than that, and is even broader than bipartisan. it began in the early 1970s or before.
the decades surrounding globalization and mechanization will be interesting historically. it's almost as if we're entering a post-labor economy. unfortunately, it's happening from the ground up, as those jobs are most easily replaced by machines or cheap labor. when that labor ceases to be cheap, it will be a race to the bottom. once the bottom is reached, those jobs will be mechanized as well.
The problem goes much further back than that, over 2 thousand years ago, people were teaching others, how to manage their money well.
It still hasn't caught on.
