Crumbling Infrastructure and Lost weapons

Minnesota bridge simply crumbled and fell into the Mississippi River. Ill-maintained bridges (more than 70,000 of them) cause every one in the nation wondering whether the bridges they cross everyday are safe.

This is happening in the most powerful nation in the world?

Ok, where are the funding for maintaining the bridges and other important infrastructure items? Perhaps all money went to fight for the war? But we are not handling the war so well either.

Another news: Lost weapons: 190,000 of them, some fell in the hands of the insurgents in Iraq.

Oh my, just how mess up are we?

America, it is time to wake up! Get your acts together! Fix things!

But we are so lazy, we like fries and we become obese. Many Americans statistics are depressing.

America can do, and should do better than that. However, it probably takes more than a new president to fix all our problems.

America's crumbling infrastructure and military might are 2 examples of the decline of the American Empire. Such as the Roman Empire decline was marked by a gluttonous society, declining morals, and military over-reach, so is ours. There is nothing that can stop it, just hope the ultimate collapse is bearable.
