We are like the Spanish Empire of about 400 years ago -- wasting our wealth
on consumer goods and foreign military adventures. We look invincible now,
but once we slide, it's going to be very hard to pull us out of the hole
that we are currently digging.

I believe the US will remain a country that has the capacity to inspire the
world for another generation. The generation after that -- I agree, it's not
clear.
