Half full? Or wholly empty?

I hear a constant drum beat of doom and gloom. America is in decline and and we have an administration bent on doing everything it can to speed this process up. However, unlike global warming, this is a totally man made disaster. And as such, the process can be reversed. America still has the natural and people resources to break out of this tail spin. All it lacks is the will. The will to go nuclear, exploit our energy resources, eliminate regulatory and legal barriers to growth. It will require rolling back the federal government to a reasonable size and perhaps locking in the federal budget to a fixed percentage of the GDP. It will require that the socialist and marxist be rooted out of government and education. It will require a return to common sence and conservative fiscal policies. No, we are not yet there now but if the anger continues to grow any number of events could trigger a realignment, if we have the right leadership in place.
