Decline and Fall:

From Encorepub.com

As inevitable as the rising of the sun in the morning and its descent in the evening, eventually, every great empire in history reaches its summit of outermost expansion, its moment of greatest wealth, power and influence. And then, decline and fall inevitably follow.

Assyria. Persia. Macedonia. Rome. Byzantium. Britain. History is replete with examples of nations that dominated the politics and economies of an era, and, once they reached their zeniths, subsequently returned to a relatively minor status among nations. Through the ill-advised decisions of a nation’s leaders, suffice to say, some fell quicker than others.

America will be no different. The only question is how quickly the nation’s leaders wish to travel down the road to serfdom.
