time to go for cheap mass produced robots time
imagine if we didn't have to pay all those troops and had much cheaper ways to fight...
as for health care - i agree that the U.S. health care system could be boosted greatly - ever been to some European countries? its pretty amazing how different / improved it is
but i'd say the reason the U.S. really won't be going anywhere is simple - its too stubborn
people will always say "well they did it in the past so i'll keep it this way" - too stubborn and so we will always have the same feelings / style of living
