I notice we're still spending money we don't have and continuing to give money away to Foreign countries. Looks like China, Russia or the Saudis will have no problem taking over the US. Most countries invade, fight and kill for control. Not the US, we're special. We just borrow, spend, borrow/steal/spend and let a country walk right in and take control without firing a shot and even using force. We see our so called Government Leaders who are so busy stealing and lying while stupid people are appointed in top jobs. People with BA and Masters Degrees are working at McDonld's and the friends of the GOP are just taking as much as they can while they can.

Nixon was charged with impeachment and less then three months left office. Bush/Cheney are doing worse yet these so called smart educated experienced Law Makers say their is nothing they can do to impeach this President/VP. Now that answers works only because the American people don't understand the US Government. Maybe Americans should as immigrants or those who have just become American citizens how it works. These Law Makers of both Parties know what to do for the American people they choose not to so they can benefit from the crimes committed. Most give these great speeches while doing nothing. I guess that's all that's needed now is a great speech and like sheep Americans will just follow until they fall of the cliff. Dr. King said to Judge a man/woman not by their skin color but by their character and as we see we have very few current Leaders with any character anymore. As the World Leaders sit back and watch the down fall of the once Great United States of America. The United Nations will have no problem with charges current leaders with War Crimes.
