the trend of the world

Warning: This is strictly my personal opinion

American's economy is heading towards a downward spiral. It's beyond salvation now. I was reading the news on Fox about how Boston Zoo may be forced to close and euthanize 20% of the animals due to devastating budget cut. I am not an expert on economy. An economist would probably say recession is self-limiting, it comes in season and it goes with season. But in reality, America is living in debt, not billions but trillions, how long can she stays that way? The credit card company 'gives' you a month of lavish spending, but at the end of the month, you will have to pay the cost plus interest.

The glory and pride of a country comes and goes just like waves in the ocean. It started in the East (Mesopotamia), migrating to Eastern Europe (Greek, Rome, Spain, etc.), then Western Europe (France, Germany, UK, etc), then America. Who's next? If you look at the globe, Asia (esp China) is just around the corner!
