Intentional decline of the U.S.

Yeah, have you been suspecting that the path we are on in this country is being deliberately set by our current administration? That the current admin believes that we deserve what we're getting because we aren't that great and don't really need all the prosperity we have? That we need to share our wealth with the impoverished countries of the world, even if it means we go broke? Krauthammer says this is a choice.

Which leads to my second proposition: Facing the choice of whether to maintain our dominance or to gradually, deliberately, willingly, and indeed relievedly give it up, we are currently on a course towards the latter. The current liberal ascendancy in the United States--controlling the executive and both houses of Congress, dominating the media and elite culture--has set us on a course for decline. And this is true for both foreign and domestic policies. Indeed, they work synergistically to ensure that outcome.
