"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government." "A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury." "From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."

"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years." "During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:
.
1. from bondage to spiritual faith;
2. from spiritual faith to great courage;
3. from courage to liberty;
4. from liberty to abundance;

7. from apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage"
Loose fiscal policy - Before 9/11, the USA had built up a roughly 3-trillion dollar surplus. That's a serious pile of money that could have gone to so many issues and strengthening the USA. Today, our eye-popping $9 trillion gross national debt is owed by the "General Fund." That's the part funded by our income taxes. Half of that goes for the military and to pay interest on the debt. In other words and as incredible as it is, in just a few short years the USA has spent a record total of $12,000,000,000,000+. Yes, check out all those zeros! Shocking isn't it! Where did it all go? Worse, only an insufficient small portion of that gigantic spending spree has gone to shore up the general welfare of the USA. So, make no mistake about it, this combination of spending so far beyond our means and then spending that money so irresponsibly compounds itself and has incredibly lethal consequences! To give you an idea of the magnitude of this potential catastrophe, it would take every man, woman, and child (including even babies) alive in the USA today at this moment coughing up over $30,000 apiece to pay off the $9 trillion current debt and that's just to reach only a break even point. Impossible you say, well welcome to the real world and the terrible consequences of reaping the seeds that a totally irresponsible government sows.
Apathy - Over 200 years later, we should change our name to the United States of Apathy - As we are enduring apathy here in the USA, tyrants are creating a military state up around "we the people". Do a Google search on US + apathy and you will find 4,720,000 sites.
