It’s hard to say when exactly America started to decline. Some would say that it began during the 60’s with the Vietnam War, while others would suggest that it happened when Nixon took our currency off of the gold standard. Others still would place the date closer to home, with the dot-com crash, the Iraq War, or the housing collapse. On the other hand, you could say that the seeds of our destruction were really sown when the Federal Reserve came into being.
In any case, nobody who’s paying attention can deny that America is in serious decline. Our infrastructure is crumbling, our schools are failing our children, our borders are porous and our ability to vet immigrants is practically nonexistent, public and private debts are soaring, the purchasing power of the dollar is slowly slipping away as the middle class is being hollowed out, and our military is stretched thin across the world.
And that’s a short list of the problems we face. The United States is clearly an empire in decline, which should be obvious enough to any American citizen who does their homework. But what about our own government? Surely, they’d never admit that their own system is crumbling?
