In one sentence Mike Wallace refers to the USA as a "superpower." A few sentences later he says the country is f*cked up. Well, which is it?

Let's see......we can't (or won't protect our borders) thus allowing millions to latch onto our welfare system sucking it dry to the tune of billions, we have Homeland Security policies that have no problem shaking down gray-haired old folks in airports but somehow doesn't have the capacity to better protect our borders, we have many fedgov policies and departments that have been created more in accordance with the Communist Manifesto than the Constitution, we have to borrow billions monthly from foreigners (and future generations) to keep the fedgov afloat meanwhile the GAO estimates there's over 50 TRILLION in unfunded liabilities...........won't even go into the education system, idiotic free trade deals, a MSM full of useful idiot talking heads in TV & radio yammering on and on about left/right, lib/conserv, blue state/red state, etc.....all neatly packaged to keep everyone titillated until the next Scott Peterson or MJ or Martha scandal comes along to distract us even more.

Maybe in a clumsy, roundabout way Mike Wallace was trying to tell us all something?
