The costs of maintaining our Empire (and does anyone here TRULY believe we live in a Republic, rather than an Empire?) have outstripped our means....a complete collapse is only a matter of time....Ask the English....or the Ottomans....or the Romans before them.

We take more and more and more from "home"....to spend on bombs and bribes and bullets abroad....and the American people largely say nothing. Distracted...divided...and largely too ignorant to understand the ramifications of what has happened even IF they did pay attention long enough to notice.

It would be a farce...if it wasn't so damn true....and scary.
Holy crap, something political that I agree with you on!

I don't believe for a second that the gubmint could figure out anything useful to do with billions (trillions?) of dollars if we focused more on our own domestic problems, but it sure would be nice to see them try.
