A definitive opinion piece by Pat Buchanan.  The country has been "in decline" for over 15 years now in my opinion.  We have been sold out to the Chinese. Illegal immigration is rampant along with MS-13 and the drug cartels.  The Federal Budget has gone from $1+ trillion under President Clinton to the current $4+ trillion under President Obama.  A time where the budget went from a $200+ billion surplus (via President Reagan tax cuts and stock market rally) to a $1.4+ trillion deficit.  This doesn't even account for state and local government budget growth and deficits.  The mortgage, auto, banking, student loan, etc, industries are owned by the government.  Health care is on the brink of being "owned" by government.  Sad huh?  Oh yeah...  The hoax called Global Warming is being used to give the last few scraps of sovereignty and wealth away to all powerful United Nations overlords.  We are so screwed...
