Default The Great American Nation
Linked below is probably the most revealing and positive articles that I have read about America in a long time. It is long, but well worth the read.

Good post. Even though a lot of this stuff is known about it's good to put it in a single article. Like the article rightly says we are too easily influenced by the news and thus think that our 'empire' s going to collapse overnight. How wrong they are....

Here's one statistic that's quite interesting and very indicative of where our country should be heading....

'Washington is the only state within the union that has a trade surplus with the Chinese, is it coincidental that Washington is home to Microsoft and Boeing? Or is it that Seattle Coffee?'

You might find this interesting, I posted this on another thread:


This guy knows his stuff in my opinion. We should listen to his words of advice. (We will prosper where the British failed )

The guy does seem to know what he is talking about, especially our military spending as opposed to our social spending. Thanks for the link

Great video, and very informative. The social program debt is scary, more-so because of the talk about national health care.
