National Debt is Out of Control

The US can definitely be compared to Rome. Corruption at the deepest level was one of the factors that destroyed it. It won’t be an invading force that destroys America.

the worst part of this is that the solutions to prevent collapse are actually simple, they just require 1) a lot of work and 2) for the greed of the powerful to be culled and 3) For a certain part of society to admit that there are problems that need dire solutions. So we are fucked.

Long live the people this nation never served us anyhow..

We must rebuild in the interest of the people instead of corporate greed in my opinion..

Government of China has been taking the long view. Thinking 5 to 10 years ahead following common sense development plans to raise the standard of living of their people. Sooner or later, US will be left behind.

Of all the empires which suffered collapse, the citizens of Radio Shack suffered the most. :|

Another good metric is how we've flipped on the trend of the next generation being better off economically, socially, and the health of the planet they inherit.
