Decline is a choice

When typing 'American declinism' into google I found the site Urban Elephants with a blog by Herb London, he believes that declinism is a choice and America can choose whether to stay in it or get out of it. He mentions that China and Japan provide 50% of money lent to the US by foreign investors, but he feels that China needs America just as much as American needs them as they are relient on their trade policy with America.

Herb also comments on America's education system stating that it is not up to standards with european schools and university who have brighter students in maths and science. Saying that 'Most young people are more likely to know the name of the “American Idol” winner than the name of the Secretary of Defense.' and that their ignorance could be one of the reasons why they are declining.

Herb feels that America can be restored again as Ronald Reagan did in the past, he had a different idea of what America should be and gave America back its power. From the amount of debt shown in the seminar on monday I did not see how that would be possible but this blog has made me see it differently as Herb says they did it once before they can do it again, it is their choice.
