Neither do conservative neo-liberal capitalists. Look at how the labour laws in the US has ruined the family. If mothers and fathers are working long hours on low wages, what time do they have for their children? The mothers that work at Walmart are missing out on their children's lives. Low wages, and long working hours ruins lives and families.

If you are truly concerned with the future of the US of A, please, please do not try to blame everything onto other people. You have to ask:

Why do the world dislike us?

How do we get to such a state?

Whose fault is it? Their's or ours?

When did it get like this?

What are we going to doing to change?

DON'T just balme, blame, blame. Coz it'll get you to nowhere.

Trust me! It could only get worse!

I rest my case.

I'll contine:

The Romans were fighting shadow enemies (nomads) from the north, west and east - while the US is fighting imaginery enemies from where - nowhere and everywhere - shadow enemies so powerful that had brought many a mighty nation to its knees - in reality it was often the enemies from within.

When Rome ran out of monies - it used lead - of course you're printing $ like crazy.

Do U want me to carry on?

Wake up - the US needs a reform from top-down and bottom-up.

The US of A is making the same mistakes made by the Romans two millennia ago.

1. Outsourcing

2. Employing merceraries (you have Black Water)

3. Wantonly greedy and wasteful

4.Democracy lost its orientation (US was liberaterians - you've lost it).

5. Over exertion of its military might

6. Break down of social value - pagans over taken by Christians (now it is the reverse?)

7. Corruption at the senate.

 I am not saying that history will repeat - it might.

Wake up.

Russian Proton sends US satellite into orbit.

Watch RT.

US has far better space technology than Russia - why are the US cooperations using Russian rockets to launch satellites?

Cheaper - of course - so the US cooperations can reap in profit. It is about time you question the greedy companies as to why they are out-sourcing something the US is good at! As a matter of fact everything U can think of- can you blame the people who YOU OUT-SOURCE 2?

Wake up! Wall Street greed is killing America.

If I were you I'd look at the US global military policy. If you are spending a combined total of 54% of of your national expenditures on military, homeland security etc, it is NOT sustainable. Wake up.
