[A Navy Vet]

Thanks for all your efforts. However, I don't need to read your links to tell me that the USA is now a "gimme" nation.

We're over and done. I enjoyed the ride while it lasted. I have enjoyed "freedom" throughout most of my life, and even served it for 11 years in the US Navy. Luckily, I'm on the back stretch of my life and hopefully will die before I see it fall further.

The United States' history will be written as another nation that let the failure of democracy (mob control) take over. Hopefully, there will be a footnote about being an original Republic and the glorious hopes some ancient guys had.

Protect what you have, because the worst is yet to come.

i feel the same. Isn't it sad that we are at this point where we hope to die for improvement? Bet we aren't the only ones.
