[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1408270, member: 18225"] But that's not what I said, is it? I said that we have enough money for all our needs, but we choose to spend it on ridiculous misadventures around the world, meaning that there's not enough for what we really do need. Our infrastructure is crumbling, our education system is in the toilet, we spend the most on healthcare in the world yet our healthcare outcomes aren't all that great, etc. We're rapidly becoming a third-world nation. What's most alarming to me is that, as a nation, we don't really have a long-term plan. Our government is completely dysfunctional, which I don't see changing anytime soon, and so it's almost impossible to do the work we need to do. Most other Western countries are thinking and planning for decades out...we seem to be limited in attention-span to the next election. [/QUOTE]
