					<description><![CDATA[Sometime in the foreseeable future, the &quot;House of Cards&quot; that is our country today, will fold and fall flat.  And then we will have to go back to the &quot;good old days&quot; of the Great Depression.  That&#039;s when we had an unemployment rate of almost 17% and a lot of families lived,literally, from hand to mouth.  It will be a great learning experience for us all, I&#039;m sure.
   Alexis deTocqueville mentioned this kind of situation in his treatis about America way back when in the 1830&#039;s.  The USA will survive as a democracy, he says, until they figure out how to &quot;kill the golden goose that lays the golden eggs&quot;.  Of coure, those were not his words, but his idea was that we would prosper until we thought we could keep tapping into the big tax bank in the sky without any consequences.
   It will be sad to watch and even worse to experience this decline and fall of the Great American Empire. But, like peoples and politicians throughout history, will simply will not believe history and change our ways.   America was a great country once, but with all of the self-serving special interests and their political lackeys in the Congress, the White House and the state houses, we are headed for a great fall. And nobody is going to be able to pick up the pieces.
   Despite what Ron Paul says, we should be looking forward to a North American Union sometime during the 21st Century, incorporating Canada and Mexico with the USA.  Time to begin teaching my grandchildren Spanish and French!!!]]></description>
