If you look at history most great nations have fallen at one time or another, we are a realitivety young country, still, compared with others, so maybe it is our time to fail, like the roman empire, and others that have fallen due to the practice of greed for profit, to benifit no others than oneselves We cannot fix this budget until all are held resposible for this mess, fix this mess, and put aside their personal agendas, and work together, this will never happen here in this country as greed and power have replaced common sense and decitity, The 2% that run this country dont give a hoot about the other 98%, It is sad, we are in for a fall, history is always right.
