America the Not-So-Great Nation
A young man asks, "What are our country's worthy goals to sustain this nation?"

Dear Northeast Cobb Patch,
As if America doesn't look pathetic enough with its terrible economy, debt to China, and 9.2% unemployment, now we've scrapped the space program. We'll have to rely on the Russian, French and Japanese space programs.
What is American known for now? Reality television, wasting lives and money in the Iraq war, and Casey-what's-her-face.

This was once a great nation known for its manufacturing industry, a space program, and opportunity. Now our economy is tanking. More American companies are moving overseas. Jobs are getting outsourced.

Is this country going to hell, or what?
