[quote=Anonymous]Ah, this is a subject near and dear to my heart.  My grandfather, a WWII VET (D Day +6).  Wounded at the end of the Bulge, said God watches out for “…America”. Without America,the world enters a new dark age.

That said, he did not like the Reagan military buildup.  Explaining that the USSR will fail eventually anyhow.  That Kleptocracy is not designed for longevity.  Sadly, the US neglected its industrial base, infrastructure and borders. Now middle America is paying the price ( the upper middle class, like me are benefiting via nicer houses, etc.).

But we must not ignore middle America’s plight. Look at the substance abuse!  If up to me, I’d close our borders, lessen our international responsibilities ( Do NOT become isolationist) 
and heal our wounds as a #1 priority.

Will this happen?  Not likely.  Prognosis is that the US will either lose most of its middle class - the bell curve stretches on both ends.  Or the US is the next Brazil.

Unfortunately, Geo W Bush, Obama, nor Biden realize this.  Does Trump?  Trump struck the nerve at least.

Conservatism should not be the absence of change, rather think it thru first.  America does not think it through. I am an American. My ancestors were in Jamestown fairly early.  The last group was hear over 200 years ago. So I have a vested interest.  Plus I have several kids.  [/quote]
