Our workers are falling behind. ("Earnings for workers with four-year degrees fell 5.2% between 2000 and 2004 when adjusted for inflation...")
We're spectacularly broke.
Our elections are coming under suspicion.
And now (sit through a free ad), our judiciary system has been overruled. (This post is long, but worth reading and giving it the time it needs to sink in--that a bunch of senators simply terminated these lawsuits by fiat.)
Draw your own conclusions about where we're headed. Or have already arrived.
