I hate to sound like a pessimistic, but I really don't see us making the tough choices to reverse our decline. I guess it's just part of human nature. After all, absolute power corrupts absolutely. http://politicalanimal.today.com/ Good article.

Being an Australian we have a somewhat different view of Americans. I don't believe any American would allow themselves to be dominated by Mexico or Canada. I can see a break up occurring but it is more likely to be Texas taking over Mexico. The I can see the north east joining the EU, the mid north a separate state. The north west would simply become California not controlled but strongly allied to China. The era of large states has been and gone. China taking over the world may happen, but like the USSR, it would be short lived. Aligned states like the EU will be more successful in the long run. It is an interesting theory and makes for a lively discussion. Thanks for the post and for visiting my site - myradicalblogs.com cheers les Nice post that raises some interesting theories.

The U.S. has overcome many struggles in the past but relative to the GDP, excluding a period during WW2, never has this country had so much debt and President Obama and Congress look to be interested in piling more on. It is not the debt that bothers me per se it is that high percentage that is owned by foreign governments. It should worry you, too. As far as the Clinton surplus that will be covered another time but it is not as simple as you think. Thanks for the reply. Although I have lived in Europe I am an American.
