Is America On The Brink Of Collapse?

America today faces a collapse of economic structure, support, popularity, ideals, education, intellect, resources, and creativity. Is the good ol' U S of A near its end, and if it collapses will it go the way of the Phoniex and have a rebirth, or will it go the way of the dodo bird and go bye bye?

I think the real question we need to be worried about is are we NOT?! I know It may seem anti-establishment but look around us and look around the world. Can we really afford to not have to start over? Millions of people starve to death everyday...yet we have supermarkets full of food! Billions of people dont have running water....yet there are actually bars where you can sample water from all around the world. We are fighting wars using trillions of dollars to kill people yet we dont have enough money to save families from getting thrown out of their homes. The water supply on earth is fast becoming toxic, and bottleing companies are dividing up the left over supply as assets for their business. Animals are kept in pens barely large enough to move around in....breeding toxic fumes, waste, viruses and god knows what else. Before we know it we are going to kill off all the natural animals and we will have to settle for living on a planet where the only birds that live here are genetically motified chickens and Turkeys. Where the wild animals that once roamed the planet are varying degrees of abnormally beefy cattle. NOONE knows how to farm anything without the use of chemical pestisides and we are even forgetting the simple things like how to care for one another. Not to get all negative......but I see the only positive option as needing to start with failure first! We need to look around our little lives and see that there is a bigger picture. US, OUR CHILDREN, OUR EARTH. Who cares if the ecconomy collapses. Can we afford to not have it happen?

The world is on the brink of collapse. What proof do I have. The Bible. Sorry.

If Americy goes, well, there goes everyone else in a handbasket, too. In Japan, the economists have a saying: "When America coughs, Japan has the flu. When America has the flu, Japan has pneumonia." Sorry, but the rest of the world was idiotic enough to let us lead them around with a diamond-studded leash for the past 60 years. So, our problems are now the world's, and the global financial meltdown was indicative of this larger problem. We all have to deal with each other now. The State is becoming increasingly irrelevant, imo.

Where are we going and why are we in this handbasket? The Ameros are coming! The Ameros are coming!

I'd say once we clean up the mess left by the previous administration, we'll be well on our way to recovery. Our reputation is being burnished, the man in the office now is one of the good guys, and I say we let him do his job before we start hollering about how the world's going to Hell in a handbasket.

Until the consumer base in the rest of the world becomes strong enough to make up for the loss, America will remain too big to fail. Not one second longer. I wouldn't hazard a guess as to when that will be and there are other serious global problems, that may collapse the world economy, if not the world. Sure would like to know how it turns out. Surfing history, past and future, would be a cool afterlife.

I believe the problems are limited to greed, power, and current ideals. Education, intellect, resources, and creativity are still here and stronger than ever, but most of what you see is squandered/misrepresented by the 3 problems. Until greed and power are bested in priority by something positive, goodbye USA. And goodbye humanity soon after. Then robots, cats and dogs living together, MASS HYSTERIA!!

"America today faces a collapse of economic structure, support, popularity, ideals, education, intellect, resources, and creativity." What? I'm no historian, but I think usually people don't see it coming when something like what you're suggesting happens. Because when they do see it coming, they DO SOMETHING about it.
