God help the USA

“The United States appears, sadly, to be on its way to a complete meltdown. Poorly educated, a dysfunctional congress, seriously hampered by its citizens’ lack of knowledge of world affairs, living in gated communities when they can, tens of millions of seriously poor, 300 million guns to protect themselves from tyranny, trillions of dollars in debt with no way of turning that around, a military budget greater than the next 5 biggest military spending nations combined, a hatred of taxes of any kind yet possessing no way to rebuild its crumbling infrastructure, an almost visceral hatred of rational debate, mental illness commonplace, and an apocalyptic view of the future fueled by crazies, religious rapturists and 1776 constitutionalists. God help the USA.”
