It's tough to save a country that is drowning in debt when half of its inhabitants are so stupid that they'll ignore the flotation device and reach for the anvil.

Sad, isn't it?

Every day that passes I am more and more convinced this Country is going to go over the cliff, just a matter of when.

I don't see us being saved at the ballot box.

Probably not. Prolonging the inevitable, perhaps. But, until America comes to grips with the looming entitlement crises, it's only a matter of time until we face complete financial ruin.
