The American economy has had a faulty growth based on expansionary monetary policies that were not grounded in solid productive sector fundamentals. The manufacturing sector for example, represented 1/3 of the U.S. economy a few years ago and now has dropped to 10%. Therefore, the growth was transferred to the service sector, and within that sector, 70% is explained by the financial mortgage sector. This is not sustainable.
