I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden...
comes to mind.
Our Founding Fathers didn't either. They were trying to set up a system where you could have one if you worked hard for it and no one could take it away.
But you could give it away if you were not careful. And I fear that is what has happened.

I have to admit I mostly agree with you. History is repeating itself..again...
Our nation is going through another step in the natural evolution of a country. Agricultural, Industrial, Informational, service. We are entering the service stage.
That's where we don't make anything. All we do is service what someone else makes and sells to us.
Unfortunately the service folks are usually paid less than the makers and are ruled by the makers.
Where we are heading is unsustainable.
So yes, the Countries that are taking over manufacturing will rule. Manufacturing leads to innovation and new ideas and products.
They will eventually own the USA. We are almost there now and the bailouts helped it along.

That's why I am still looking to buy a farm. Not for me so much, I am a little past my prime, but my grandkids will need a place to go.
