Americans Seem To Buy Into "Dog Eat Dog" Economy With No Safety Net.

8. "I consider this situation to be unrecoverable, at least for the nation as currently constituted."

It is, because the wealth of this country also holds the power structure. And that is extremely entrenched no matter who the president is. The choice is, with some elected presidential hopefuls it will get even worse IMO. What is troubling, is so much of the population IMO does not comprehend how they are used to their disadvantage. That said, it would take a huge upheaval IMO in the US to change the current paradigm.

Eventually the breaking point will happen and many will not give a F about anything they are collectively so desperate. I don't know if, how or when that might happen, but I think the US is treading on thin ice, and it's a damn shame. And with the arms in this country all hell could happen.

We'll have a better idea after the 2016 election. ... but I just can't imagine congress voting for a more equitable distribution of wealth in the US. Far too many are also part of the problem. And 'King of the Mountain' capitalism is entrenched in this country at many layers/levels and getting worse.

When I was a kid I thought the US was great, although I did surely know it had a lot of problems with equality and equal opportunity. Now, it grows more fascist everyday. And frankly more scary!
