Yeah, the US is practically in the history column and why? Well, I'll tell ya why. Bad policies. Everywhere you look, the US has taken nilistic approaches toward policy decisions... This isn't all about the governement but its about people's choices which are like micro-policies...

"Ahhhhh, whaddayathink, honey, the girly car that get's 40 mpg 'er the, ahhhhhhh, Caddie Es...ca...laide?"

Yeah, the US had it all about 10 years ago but failed to recognize it's position as not only a global power but a global role model... All we have seen is a globaql "bear market" as the US has been lappin' up the harvests of others and now, guess what? Well, I tell ya... We're gonna get our butts whupped and if we go another four years without straightening out Boss Hog's money grab by outsourching, we will not only slip closer toward Haiti and a model but we also find ourselves militarially vulnerable...

And, BTW, the Dems has as mich to do with this as the Repubs so please don't make this another boring defend Bush thread....
