Is the USA going down ? I think so, and I rejoice in the fact?

America's economy is a house of cards waiting to fall. if HALF the foreign investers cashed in their Treasury notes, the country would  go belly up. We are the largest debtor nation in the world, and lately foreigners have begun curtailing their buying of more Treasury notes as a result.\nI'll believe this current administration about their claims of a robust economy the day AFTER weapons of mass destruction are found in Iraq! (in Saddam's pocket, perhaps?)

That's a fair break down.  The Great American melting pot has become the The Great American melt down.\n\nBOILING POT!

I think it could become a reality.  I know alot of people will get ticked about this, but I think the place to see a system of government that is the closest to that is France/Germany.  The thought police are alive and well there, and remember, our crappy economy is not our fault, it's the evil Americans fault.

I agree with it and I think it will happen. It already has in more enlightened countries and the US will follow eventually.

Oh heck no! Our economy is doing better than it ever did under Clinton, Bush1, or Reagan. Unemployment is low, housing is up...darlin, the economy is cruising right on along. Gas prices are up and it causes some consumer goods to rise, that's all.

The U.S. is absolutely a declining empire.  It's a hard fact for most of us Americans to admit.  Most can't admit it at all.  But do a detailed comparison between decline of the Roman empire and the U.S. today (bread and circus, anyone?).  Or even the British empire and the U.S. today.\n\nAll countries and/or empires decline and fall.  It is a fact (and just a matter of time), although we may never live to see the end.

Yes. What a country! God bless the US and A!

I love living in USA. Government may suck, but living in this country is not that bad.

This is a great question and quite frankly, a grave concern.  America is truly spinning out of control.  Prices cannot continue to raise the way that they do, while wages raising at less than half the rate of real estate.  \n\nMy honest opinion....taking the national debt into consideration, that we can thank Mr. Bush for making even bigger (yes, I am a republican).  Taking into account the fact that the average household has credit card debt in excess of $10,000.00 and many other issues, I think that we are in some deep, deep trouble.  I don't think that we will ever recover from this and I truly think that the downfall of America will absolutely be due to money.
