ENTRY 40 U.S.A... DARK CLOUDS ARE COMING!!

Always we have heard people talking about the height and the fall of empires. All of them have their apogee and its decay. This old saying reflects an inexorable destiny.
At the moment, news are around the horizon of the United States, the superpower militarily dominating the globe.The United States has entered in an economic and social slopedown. The first alert is related to the fall of the working middle-class , and to what I consider the less and unfair equitable distribution of wealth. Without a doubt, this is a qualitative change in the North American society, with direct consequences for its democracy and its political future.
Finally, the war and the construction of a new State in Iraq, the high expenses of the foreign policy in Africa and the Middle East.The expensive commitments related to the military defence that the United States has with the European Union, and an economic policy that favours the escape of North American money towards more promissory countries, in which the working hour is cheaper than the Us or Europe, this definitely increases the deficit of the country.Then, will the United States be able to maintain his great superpower status? It depends, more than nothing, of its political class. This political class ,the capacity and the will to revert these tendencies, and to plan an economic policy outside the accepted globalization?.
So far, neither the Congress nor the White House have demonstrated to have those capabilities.
