I saw this article and got me thinking:
http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/03/16/congress.debt.ap/index.html
I remember reading that shortly after the United States won the American Revolutionary War, the founding fathers sought to keep America out of debt and did a very good job. It was a much different America back then, not perfect but much different. Now, we are the most in debt nation in the world, a nation that had to go further in debt in order to prevent a default on US Treasury Notes, which of course is a temporary solution that will only make the long term problem worse. So, I started asking myself, has America destroyed the foundation that it was founded upon that made it such a powerful country? When you destroy the foundation of your nation, your nation will cease to be powerful eventually. We spend money like their is no tommorrow, we put ourselves into alot of debt to have everything NOW. We destroy the hopes and dreams of people overseas in our lust for power, resources and money. We pass laws that destroy the hard fought for freedoms here in this country. We imprison more people than any nation in the entire world. We have become what our founding fathers feared the most. Have we become a Machine of Evil, much like the Soviet Union did before it's collapse?
