gentlepaws: It took hundreds of years for the Roman empire to collapse. They fell for the exact same reasons as the US is now discovering. Except everything is now accelerated through technology. If you could go back in time and ask a Roman under Caesar about their country and the power that they held over the known world, they would say, "We're the greatest power on earth, and will remain so".
Wake up, stop listening to the propaganda spewed by partisan media networks. It may hurt, but start thinking for yourselves.

To be fair Conrad, the solutions required are extremely surgical in nature and will require many treatments to enact. No band-aid solution will work and they will all take years if not generations before we see any positive results. Politicians walk into a mess created before they were born and extrapolated by every person that sat in their seat before them. Some things that have been done by their predecessors are good and healthy for life and politics but the entirity looks like the weave in a Persian rug. Pluck one string and it may unravel the whole. Quite daunting and foolhardy at the same time. Most just try to colour the thread to add their own feeling to it and leave it unchanged except for the last few rows that they put in themselves. JMO
