Reply #4: But by whom?

I would say that the chief planners of the American economy are the Waltons (no, not John-boy's family, Sam's spawn). They plan for millions of people to buy the crap they import from China, they plan to pay their employees next to nothing, and they plan to keep as much of the profits for themselves as possible. So far, the plan is working and they didn't even have to run for office.
