The recipe for failure has many ingredients and we are perilously close to completing it.

Some of the ingredients:
Apathy
A government that exists for the sake of itself
The stripping of rights
Financial weakness (we are so weak now that if the populace knew how bad it was, that alone might cause collapse).
CEOs, Lawyers, and judges.
The loss of manufacturing
The inherent belief that your house is always worse more than what you paid
Americans living beyond their means.

There are more, but I am on a conference call and can't type anymore!
