Our Largest Threat

Wasted
Sacrificed for the new nirvana
Night time sends the sun away
--Icicle Works

What is the largest threat facing the United States? It isn't external. Not China, North Korea, Russia, Iran, nor ISIS.

It is internal, grounded in our proclivity to live beyond our means. As this congressman observes, the largest threat facing the US is our national debt.

A country that can't keep its fiscal house in order is destined for the scrap heap of history.
