I believe the key to saving America is periodic revolution. Maybe not the bloody type, but certainly political upheaval needs to take place. Both Democrats and Republicans in this country have adopted the ideals of socialism, and are more concerned with their own power than the will of the American people. We need a good free-market, capitalist movement to tell the Dems and Reps to step down, and shut up.

This is true, but the corporations and such that we have today control the government.  What makes you think that if we start over, that it won't happen again?

Of course the U.S. will fall, moreso because there hasn't been an Empire on this earth that has lasted forver. The arrogance alone will cause it's destruction moreso than anything else

It seems to me like the Roman Empire fell because they got too rich and lazy to do anything. This pattern seems to repeat itself, and I think it is happening in America today. America has been on the decline since the 60s in my opinion.

What are you even talking about? Since you don't understand what I'm saying, why don't you reread it, instead of making irrelevant posts.

No, I disagree. He does know what he's talkin about, and you don't. America owes multiple countries trillians of dollars. America has more debt then it has money. Not to mention the interest on those trillians is like 3 billion dollars a YEAR. If America tried to pay it back, it would be worse then a depression, because there would be NO money at ALL. Everyone would have nothing, no work would run, the entire economy would crash. I think Apothesis knows this, because what he's saying, is all it takes for America to fall, is for one of those countries to demand their money, because after that happens, all the other will follow suit.

Here here. It seem that everyday something happens that makes it seem more and more out of control.
