Umm, this "central planning" theory always comes after a great economic boom period. It's just a collection of wealth at the top that will take a lot of political might to break up and distribute more evenly. I think we all hoped Obama was going to be the president to do it and unfortunately we will just have to wait for the next guy.
I don't foresee any future guy doing any better. The reality is the president doesn't have much power to improve it but as we've seen with the last president they do have a great amount of power in making it worse.
