Our nation has been drifting, rudderless, because of those who are hell-bent on turning our great country into a social democracy. Would you prefer I post more bad news from your precious failing European social democracies? If the left would support the framers intent, I could post some positive articles from them, as well. But, we know the direction the democrat party has been heading the last 35 years, and there just isn't anything positive to post. Obviously, you can't find anything positive to post from the democrat/progressives either. I hope you find the light someday. Thank you for your reply.You should look to capitalism for the sources of the failures that you see. Capitalism is not a self sustaining system. It is destined to fail at some time in the future. It assumes infinite resources and infinite growth which are impossible. There is also the problem of more and more jobs being done by machines. This is termed "technological obsolescense". Just look at farming and how technolical automation has replaced humans and with a huge incease in productivity.
By the way, are some of those "framers" the same ones who said everyone was created equal and yet favored a system of slavery in which some human beings were born into a life in which they were treated like animals? Is that the "intent" you want to go back to? I know you tend to deify the founding Fathers but when you look at it objectively it's easy to see that they were not perfect.
