#2 Part of the explanation is faltering industrial and financial clout, reflecting the rapid rise of rivals such as China and India. But that is compounded by another central element

Too much:

1. Statist ideology (the notion everything should come from central government)
2. Regulation
3. Bureaucracy
4. Public union influence
5. Disdain for business and capitalism
6. Corruption
7. Crony capitalism
8. Inexperience at doing anything
9. Class warfare and institutionalized racism (DOJ)
11. Selling out to foreign interests (not only BO's administration; Clinton's and Nixon's as well).
12. Taxation
13. Micromanagement of the economy
