[QUOTE="Meat, post: 2936999, member: 61324"] His greatest moment as POTUS came when he told the general public that America needed to redefine its value system (both as a country and as individual citizens). This message, of course, came after he knew he would lose to Reagan - kind of funny how the candidates who know they don't stand a chance can tell the truth. The writing was on the wall; we were becoming a debtor nation, and the expectations of average citizens were getting out of control (the concept of the American dream seems to get bigger and bigger). Instead, Americans were duped into yet another slogan: "It's Morning in America." Nancy shows up in a $20,000 plus dress for the inauguration, and the national debt has increased ever since. Fast forward to 2027, and we are looking at 1.4 trillion annual budget deficits, and the public debt load is going to be 80 plus percent of GDP - not good for an economy dependent on consumer spending. When you couple that with the fact that SSA will be paying out at a 75 percent capacity shortly after, and the fact that approximately half of the US population doesn't save for retirement, it's a safe assumption that we're looking at a systemic disaster - happy early 4th everybody!
