You think that America has been brought down?!

Sadly, yes I do. I am heartbroken about it. But yes. I don't believe that America is too big too fail. I have been fearing our pending economic collapse for at least a decade, but now I see it as unavoidable.

I believe that our government has bankrupted us.

Calling Monckton an idiot is not an argument against what he is saying. He is no idiot.

If you have any reasonable argument to support the idea that America, and Western Civilization can survive, I will be very happy to hear it.

Perhaps it is possible that a sudden awakening of our people and a shakeout of our government (not a revolution, but a new embrace of our founding revolutionary principles) will occur and save us.

But I'm not counting on it.

Your fears aren't evidence that the U.S. has somehow collapsed already.

Frankly, I find your defeatism and depression to be disgusting.

Buck up, Men!
