Many claim America is falling behind in the world as well as our military. The United States is widely known for being the top echelon in almost all categories such as science, math, literature, English and so much more. However, it seems as if we aren't necessarily living up to our full potential especially being in competition with other countries to be on top. Before i had asked about where do you think our military stands, today i ask, where do you thin America stands?

Never saw this video- outstanding. Funny how facts/data can get in the way of catch phrases.

Our problems began when we elected Woodrow Wilson, an educator with no management experience, but a smart man none the less, or at least he thought so and so did his progressive cronies. His policies following WWI set the stage for WWII, but a silver lining appeared out of that calamity, we became the leader of the free world. All was well until we the people saw JFK murdered and his veep, LBJ, another progressive, take over and create the Great Society where people no longer had to work to survive, but just hold a hand out and the government would take care of them. This political strategy set the stage for the next sixty years of government growth and handouts until we have nearly as many people on the government teat as we have paying taxes. These give away programs destroy human ambition and initiative, destroy the nuclear family, and eventually create a dependent underclass with political clout, which is what we are dealing with today. I do not think it is too late to reverse the damage done by progressives, but we are getting close to the point of no return. The November elections of 2014 are critical to taking back our nation and instilling the mores and values that made us great. I hope those who really are get out a vote for the candidate who will help us get America back.

Thank you for reminding me. That was and still is a major problem for the world. International banking, including the Federal Reserve Bank, which is not affilliated with the government as a government entity, have helped to create this global economic crisis, yet they are the ones getting richer. Presidents who have fought against central banks have either ended up disgraced or dead, as the case of Andrew Jackson and JFK. The new golden rule, those with the gold get to make the rules.

I know the military right now is spread pretty thin all over the world.We were considered the world police at one time.We need to focus on the veterans to get them the care they truly need and cut through the red tape and give them hope that the country didn't forget about US!
