"US Too Broke To Keep Searching For "Most Coveted Particle in Physics"

And this from a conservative blog about economics.

http://www.minyanville.com/dailyfeed/us-too-broke-to-keep/?camp=syndication&medium=portals&from=yahoo

From the concluding paragraphs;

Which means we've been spending more on the war in Afghanistan just over every six hours than is needed to continue searching for the most coveted particle in high-energy physics. For a year. Does this sound like a nation looking toward the future, or a nation in decline?"

Um..."nation in decline" for 200, Alex?

Do you think the other side gets it now?

3. How fast we became a global empire. How much faster we declined.

And the "Plan for a New American Century" war criminals helped bring about the decline by pushing their adventure in Iraq.

Now we can't afford a pot to piss in.
