We won't recover from this. You all know it, it certainly isn't a secret I have been keeping from you; we are into a transition to a post Christian, Socialist, degraded state.

When women are told that they should comprise half of the engineering students you know we are on the ropes.

Love you guys. Stay happy.

No, we're a debtor nation because our govt. spends more than it brings in through taxation. Our GDP dwarfs that of any other country on the planet.

Tell your kids that the U. S. has to borrow $800 billion every year from foreigners so that teachers and government employees can have plasma tvs.

I don't see the connection. The money we're borrowing ain't going to buy plasma TVs. Indeed, very few teachers work for the federal govt. at all, so it certainly isn't going to them. And while some govt employees make a lot of money, that's not really where the money's going. We're spending it on giant defense contracts, pork projects out in the districts, various corporate and middle class subsidies, and so forth. None of which has much to do with the mobility of labor.

We borrow horrific scads of money every year so that we can buy the products of other peoples labor, and, in the bargain, degrade ourselves and see our national strength dissolve.

We are a debtor nation and we are cheating our younger citizens. Tell your kids that the U. S. has to borrow $800 billion every year from foreigners so that teachers and government employees can have plasma tvs.
