As is very apperant, the United States has many problems to overcome. The US has always been considered a power house, but is that only our perception? It seems we have lost the power house status and are mearly a credit card with no limit. As we continue to overcharge to bail out many third world countries around the globe, as well as our nation, have we crossed a line of no return. It seems as people sit waiting in emergency rooms for hours unattended that we become more like other third world countries everyday. When will a time come that there is no medical care available except to the wealthy? As the middle class slowly disappears and the gap between wealthy and poor gets larger, aren't we becoming more like a third world society? Is it possible that as jobs disappear to other countries, we will become obsolete?
