This is why America is doomed.
We have passed the tipping point of freeloaders and the politicians vying for their votes. It is now just a viscious cycle. The only unknown is how long it takes for the USA to collapse under the weight of the takers. But the end is certain. We collapse.
America died in 2008, we just didn’t know it yet. The poison was consumed in the 1960s and it is taking hold today.
We are done. Enjoy the end as much as you can. There is nothing left to fight for.
Pray to God and apologize to your children.
It died when Bush and his neo-con cronies decided to whoop in up and have a little party in Iraq that they did not properly prepare for. Sure we stomped them good and sure it was no contest. We just could not afford the little adventure. The Athenian empire collapsed when they engaged in the Sicilian campaign, the paradigm for strategic over-reach.
