Americans watch the union led riots in Greece and wonder could that debt-fueled anarchy come here? In this insightful NRO article, Michael Franc catalogs the things that are making more and more Americans uneasy; and they should be!
Some have been sounding the alarm about our government’s mounting debt for decades. In the past, they were generally dismissed as alarmists crying wolf.
A clear majority of Americans now expect our military might to fade over the next two decades, polls show.
By a three-to-one margin, they believe their children will inherit a country on a downward trajectory.
Nearly half say it is no longer possible for a person to work hard and become rich.
As President Obama said at Carnegie Mellon University this week, there is a growing “sense that the American dream might slowly be slipping away.”
If you are near your 50's you have seen this before: it was called the Jimmy Carter years. That story ended well as Ronald Reagan pulled us out of that malaise with his conservative agenda that put American back to work and back in the business of being a beacon of Freedom and Liberty and Economic Prosperity for the world to admire (or hate).
Is there such a white knight in shining armor on our horizon? If there is, you will not find that person in the old-line political parties. They are still locked in a fight with each other for power and prestige. They are not fighting for the Constitution or America.
