Now we are quickly turning into a consumer only culture, which leaves us weak in case of world war.
Once the U.S. started importing products because it no longer makes them, and started importing energy because it no longer produces it, and started ballooning government debts because it no longer can pay for its own budget, it's been on a path of decline as an economy and as a nation.

I see the day when the U.S. starts importing its basic food needs because most available land is being used to produce biodiesel then it's really fucked.
