Ok, we have free domestic market which will drive competition and improve quality.
It's not 1980 anymore.
No, it's not...it's much worse.
Simplistic thinking isn't going to save this country. Only a bottom up approach, and time, would fix it. Unfortunately time has ran out, and "fixing it" is never going to happen before we crash headlong into our well deserved reward.
If I could name one thing that might give us a chance of survival, as a nation, it would be to stop abortion. That seems to be impossible, tho, and my reasoning behind thinking we won't last much longer, now.
Everything else, as complicated and larger than life as it is, is secondary to the above, something hardly even discussed anymore. Just goes to show how far we've fallen as once the greatest nation mankind has every built, even greater than once great Babylon.
