Google, Apple and Facebook have done quite well, but or course they are in the private sector.

"There was a time – was it just a generation ago? – when Americans were legendary for doing vast, seemingly superhuman, projects: the Interstate Highway System, the Apollo Missions, Hoover Dam, the Manhattan Project, the Normandy invasion, the Empire State Building, Social Security."

United States has become a giant welfare state. Now the nations is $14 trillion in hock. There is no money to do anything big. We are broke.

The great nations of Asia, are moving in the opposite direction, to DE-CENTRALIZE government controls and are prospering.

Heh, Michael Savage has said how the Golden Gate Bridge was built in 18 months by evil white men. It would never get done in the San Francisco of today. They’d be bogged down by all kinds of regulations designed to ensure that they don’t endanger some species of algae and making sure the work force has enough persons of color and transsexuals on it.

Because men, masculine men, are the visionaries and true romantics of the world. Feminists are in charge now.

We are no longer a unified America. We’ve been Balkanized by multiculturalism and intimidated by cultural Marxism (political correctness.) Even our sovereignty is being undermined by politicians, bureaucrats and judges who want to impose world socialist government. The Constitution has been abandoned. We’ve become a ship of state without a compass.

We have become a Godless nation.

God ejected from public life. Prayer. Bible.

Adultery acceptable.

No Fault Divorce.

Abortion.

Homo Sexuality to be accepted and approved of?

Can the Creator God Bless a nation like this?

You can do something about this.

Accept the Christ of Christmas as Lord and Savior.

Panty-waistes. Liberalism. Socialism. White-guilt. Entitlements. Unions.
I could go on and on.

Our leaders are content to let us be followers. The Europeans want carbon tax, and the next thing you know, our government is trying to impose a carbon tax.

Aviation is a great example: Slowly but surely, every mandate the Europeans dream up eventually finds it’s way into the FAA mandates. Whether its noise abatements, certification programs, equipment requirement, and even phraseology.

Sadly, we no longer lead the world, we just acquiesce to the rest of the worlds demands.

We do large projects still. America has set the standard and has help train the engineers of the world to spread these wonders around the world. We just ignore some or complain about the cost if there paid for with tax dollars. The Surge Barrier being built around New Orleans is a massive project. Many here complained that it was a waste of money. Several of the last stadiums are amazing. The bar to amaze has been set very high but the fact that I can type this and you can read it would be amazing to those build the Golden Gate Bridge and the Empire State building.

Losses:

...war on drugs, war on terror, liar loans, border control, auto industry decline, crooked financial industry, the television religion scams, higher education...obviously most of government...

Many big powerful institutions utterly failed us.

NASA can barely do ONE mission for that much

I believe in God, the Son of God Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. I believe in America, my home. I believe God willed America to be. I believe had God not willed it, America would never have come to be great, strong, and free, with a Constitution protecting and defending us all. I believe God has blessed America with the sweet fruit America has feasted upon and enjoyed for over two hundred and thirty four years. While there have been some lemons, these lemons although bitter, did not dwell in the hearts and souls of Americans. Such is America’s time now. The lemons will crease to be, one day. The bitter taste will leave our mouths, and God shall will, the sweet and tasteful fruit to once again be tasted by America’s lips. I believe it will be so. Will there be a difficult time ahead? Most certainly Yes! Believe in America! America is strong. America is Great. Believe in what God can do for America. Simply view all God has done for America in the past and believe in a future. God has loved and I believe God still loves America. Who can stand against us, if God loves us? Answer.....none.
