I see no way to save a nation that has bought into the social and corporate welfare state like we have. It's going to self destruct, but it's going to destroy what productive members it has trying to maintain itself.
With vast immigration, and the little understanding our citizens have of the founders intentions, I'm not sure we will like what emerges on the other side.
I am an incurable optimist. And as much as they infuriate me much of the time, I still have great faith in the American people. I suspect that our nation has gone past the point of no return. But I also believe that an even better nation or nations will emerge from the ashes. Reagan's vision of the "Shining City on the Hill" was never really a vision of the United States per se. It was a vision of freedom. He knew and believed that the United States as the symbol of freedom was the last best hope for mankind. It still is and will be, but it may not be the United States as we know it today. Rather I suspect it will be a group of smaller independent republics with Constitutions modeled after the one we currently ignore. I think these republics will be competitive to offer ever greater amounts of freedom at progressively falling economic costs by government. The governments of these republics will be limited and carefully monitored to ensure that they do not repeat the mistakes made in our existing country.
