What i'v noticed is that we are going down for the same reason as russia. We get involved in too many wars. The war in Iraq,when we first came in all we wanted was to do was defeat Alqaeda, over throw the taliban and kill osama bin laden. most of which we got done in a few months. sure it took a few years to kill osama but what are we doing now? Now we are spending money building schools and roads and such. We spend all of our money helping other countrys and then they don't help us back. We build up competition and then wonder why they surpass us. It is like a foot ball team winning their first away game, then spending the rest of the season and money to clean and remodel the other teams stadium.
