China and Europen countries cull lower grade and isolate those with the temperament and desire to excel in math and science.  If the USA tried that the cry of discrimination would be heard at both poles.  We are country driven by words (not actions) of equality, fairness, discrimination so that inhibits the USA from competing equally with the world.

The numbers may be correct.  But numbers don't address social issues, financial issues, even desire issues.  Numbers do not lie but rarely do they tell the whole story.
If the media will not work to attract people into scientific/math fields it shall remain as it is.  You may say that's a Government job: yes and no.  The media has much more influence on inner city kids than the government shall ever have.   
Also, remember many of the great and often used scientific discoveries were made in the USA. So while the world may be passing the USA in Academics the baton in many scientific areas belong with the USA.  If it hasn't changed--the vast number of true scientist that ever lived are alive today.
