I don't entirely understand how the financial system works. I'm sure the average person does not. Perhaps this is why we get screwed over so much. Maybe it's because only a minority of people actually know how the financial system works and uses that knowledge to keep themselves rich. Nonetheless, I hope this country can solve it's financial problems. I would hate to see the USA go the way of the Roman Empire. The sad truth is the US does not have the thousands of years of history that other nations have. For the last 236 years, the United States has existed only because people believed in it. During the American Civil War, that belief was put to the test and not since then, even with all the political unrest in the 1960's and 70's has that belief been tested more than now, maybe with the exception of the Great Depression.
The day people stop believing in America is the day America can no longer exist.
