All empires eventually fall. If the US had good leadership we would have figured known this long ago and not allowed our government to get too big and too powerful. We would have stuck to limited budgets, limited government, non-interventionism, free market capitalism, enforced Constitutional limitations, kept industry from being outsourced via strong tariffs, refused to bailout bad insolvent banks and corporations, protected out borders, stuck to sound monetary policy backed by something of value, would have incentivized productivity via tax credits, would have incentivized the family unit via subsidized housing for parents raising more than 2 kids, etc.

Instead all we have is a bunch of corrupt sell-out scumbags who could care less what happens to this country as long as they stand to benefit.
