Not long ago, America was a revered and highly respected nation: almost everyone wanted to come to our shores. Daily you would hear world leaders holding us up as a symbol of hope and freedom ... "If you are willing to work long and hard", they would say, "Your dreams could become a reality in America",Yet, today, we see a different America; an America that sadly is only a shell of its former self. The America that was a champion of yesteryear has become a byword to some and a distant memory to others.We now find ourselves sitting alone in the "Intensive Care Unit" of life, patiently waiting for a "doctor", any doctor to notice us; and then properly interpret our symptoms, diagnose our disease and finally prescribe a proper course of treatment to get us back on our feet.Our once mighty nation now staggers and stumbles along almost as if in a drunken stupor. The nations of the world watch in awe as we indiscriminately extend our hands towards them with cries of, "Brother can you spare a dime."
