Good morning Marcia;

I am rather “optimistic” about our great nations future. I agree that our economy will collapse in 18 to 36 months, but the world economy will tank before that and we will still be on top! The rich will be richer and the poor will be poorer. Now that is the real America!

Soon the common persons from all over the world will be happy to have a bowl of rice once a day. The voters will vote the same clowns into office that destroyed us. Well, that is nothing new, if you look at history! :)

Tom
