My fellow Americans: We are a country in debt and in decline — not terminal, not irreversible, but in decline. Our political system seems incapable of producing long-range answers to big problems or big opportunities. We are the ones who need a better-functioning democracy — more than the Iraqis and Afghans. We are the ones in need of nation-building. It is our political system that is not working.
Don't worry Milton. The candidates are promising they can cure all our ills just by spending more money on health care, welfare, the drug war, and foreign aid. Nothing to worry about here after the election - just buckle up and hang on tight 'til then and everything will be OK. But maybe we could do with a little less democracy, a little less government and a little more liberty.
