"Our grandparents were lions. What will your grandchildren call you?"
Selfish Pussies.
The sad thing is that we're no longer really coasting on top of the world. We're holding on to a lifeboat. The U.S. went bankrupt removing the threat of communism from the world. It was a great thing to do, but we're still paying the price for it. We struggle to maintain this powerful image, but in reality it's just a facade. Our deficit continues to grow and we continue to print out more currency to spend and maintain our status. Ever see the commercial of the guy living in a large house, with a pool, nice cars, good job, and he says with a big grin "I'm in debt up to my eyeballs!" That's the U.S. I'm not concerned about comparing ourselves to past generations. There is no comparison. I'm more concerned on how much longer we will last and what we will do when things come crashing down. It's going to be hell and people better wake up and be prepared for it. We are all contributing to the problem. Maybe our children and grandchildren will be stronger than we are and truly get their priorities straight.
First of all, stop posting to my journal. Your posts are a constant nuisance.
Secondly, this kind of defeatist whining is exactly the sort of crap Democrats spew all the time. Our debt means absolutely nothing because no one is ever going to try to collect. Other nations owe us billions upon billions of dollars, and we don't try to collect from them for the same reason. America isn't 'on the brink' so fuck off.
Government wise, yes, we're in debt up to our eyeballs. However:
1. We have the best healthcare. This is undeniable despite the socialists who want to take from the wealth-makers and give it to the leeches.
2. We still lead the world in a lot of ways technologically. We're only behind on broadband use. Japan, one of our closest allies, is one of the few beating us.
3. We create most of the art. Music, movies, literature -- most of it comes from us and is translated. Not many people world over give two spits about French movies compared to ours.
4. Our poor are better off than the average citizens in Europe. They have air-conditioning, own their homes, own cars, and over 70% have more than one color television.
5. Our military could defeat the entire world if truly unleashed, and that's without using nuclear weapons. Our F-22s can slip past the most advanced enemy radar. We have precision missiles that can hit something the size of a doorknob when launched from two thousand miles away.
6. Government may be in debt, but our economy itself is one of the richest in the world. We produce, own, and buy more than anyone else. We're also one of the best nations in the world for food growth, and if we uncapped our oil wells in the states, we'd need no foreign nations.

Thirdly, I bet you support Ron Paul, don't you?
