I don't think you can blame globalism, it's a mega trend that isn't stoppable. You can either fight it or make it work for you.

But Politicians are so deep fellatiating their base (sounds worse than I meant  ) that we miss what we really need to do:
Cut costs
Create Jobs
Raise Revenue

Politicians don't create jobs

We're screwed because we CANNOT afford to spend like we've been spending, yet slashing the economy so much will possibly contract it further. On the other hand, if you took every last dime of every "Corporate Jet Owner" , you couldn't FIX the problem. If you took every last dime of those making over 1 million, you couldn't FIX the problem.

That's why Alan Simpson said you have to hit every cow. Entitlements, pork, international aid, corporations, wealthy etc... make everyone feel a little pain and you can solve the problem.
Real issue is that corporate America runs Washington. Lord, now I sound like Ralph Nader
