How Does A Country As Rich As Ours Go Broke? |
|
The United States, contiguous if you like but even more-so if you include Alaska, Hawaii, and our possessions, is an incredibly rich nation. We have oil, we have minerals, we have ores of every kind, we have forests, and we have a well educated and basically law abiding populace. We have relatively low taxes and one of the world's highest outputs per worker. We have an outstanding system of roads, the world's finest communications. We have no enemies who can seriously threaten us and good relations with neighboring countries. Some someone explain to me how we go broke.
