We can see this in our families, we can see this in our businesses, and we can especially see this in our government. We have the highest rate of divorce in the world, we have the highest rate of teen pregnancy in the world, we have the highest rate of obesity in world, and nobody has higher rates of cancer, heart disease and diabetes than we do. The suicide rate is soaring and our economy is falling apart. Meanwhile, our politicians seem absolutely clueless and we have piled up the biggest mountain of debt that the world has ever seen. Has America ever been in such bad shape before? The following are 20 examples of how America is rapidly going down the toilet… *#1* Why do so many members of the media have family members that work for the White House? Is this one of the reasons why the mainstream media is so soft on Obama? Just check out the following list which was recently compiled by the Washington Post<http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/media-administration-deal-with-conflicts/2013/06/12/e6f98314-ca2e-11e2-8da7-d274bc611a47_story.html> … The list of prominent news people with close White House relations includes ABC News President Ben Sherwood<http://abcnews.go.com/Business/ben-sherwood-named-president-abc-news/story?id=12304254>, who is the brother of Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, a top national-security adviser to President Obama. His counterpart at CBS, news division president David Rhodes <http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18564_162-7329695/david-rhodes/>, is the brother of Benjamin Rhodes, a key foreign-policy specialist. CNN’s deputy Washington bureau chief, Virginia Moseley<http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/virginia-moseley-joins-cnn-as-dc-deputy-bureau-chief_b155326>, is married to Tom Nides,<http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/thomas-r-nides/gIQApuUfKP_topic.html>who until earlier this year was deputy secretary of state under Hillary Rodham Clinton. Further, White House press secretary Jay Carney’s wife is Claire Shipman<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claire_Shipman>, a veteran reporter for ABC. And NPR’s White House correspondent, Ari Shapiro<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ari_Shapiro>, is married to a lawyer, Michael Gottlieb, who joined the White House counsel’s office in April. *#2* Why are IRS agents training with AR-15 rifles<http://www.politico.com/story/2013/06/jeff-duncan-irs-rifle-training-92662.html?hp=f2>? Exactly who do those IRS agents expect to be using those weapons against? *#3* The city of Detroit is on the verge of declaring the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history, but a 41-year-old city worker is about to starting drawing a $96,000 annual pension<http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/local_news/investigations/only-41-ex-ficano-aide-to-start-collecting-estimated-96000-annual-pension> … Matt Schenk isn’t your average retiree. He’s 41, works full-time and collects $194,000 a year at the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department. But as soon as next month, he’ll start collecting an estimated $96,000 annual pension, courtesy of an early retirement incentive offered to Wayne County appointees. It had no age restriction. *#4* The number of sexual assaults in the U.S. military is up 35 percent<http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/05/07/military-sexual-assaults/2140835/>since 2010. *#5* The suicide rate for Americans between the ages of 35 and 64 rose by close to 30 percent<http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/03/health/suicide-rate-rises-sharply-in-us.html?_r=1&;>between 1999 and 2010. The number of Americans that are killed by suicide now exceeds the number of Americans that die as a result of car accidents. *#6* The United States has the highest rate of obesity on the planet by far<http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/04/25/fat-dumb-and-not-so-happy/>. The U.S. also has the highest rate of cancer, the highest rate of heart disease and the highest rate of diabetes. *#7* An illegal immigrant brutally raped and killed a 9-month-old girl<http://www.alipac.us/content/illegal-alien-raped-killed-9-month-old-girl-california-1916/>in Richland, Washington recently, but you won’t hear anything about it from the big mainstream news networks because it might hurt the immigration bill being pushed through Congress. *#8* Even though the United States has been able to fully secure the border between North Korea and South Korea for the past 60 years, U.S. Senator Check Schumer says that it would take “years and years and years<http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/06/13/schumer-years-and-years-and-years-to-secure-border>” to secure the border between the United States and Mexico. *#9* All over America illegal immigrants are turning pleasant communities into crime-infested cesspools. The following is what Doug Hoagland<http://justcommonsense-lostinamerica.blogspot.com/2013/06/illegals-turning-our-hometowns-into.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed:+blogspot/MoXTa+%28Lost+in+America%29>says is going on down in California… Three decades ago, before past amnesties opened the flood gates to illegal criminals, all of the farming communities mentioned in this report were thriving small towns with low crime rates and an extremely pleasing quality of life. Now, every single one of these once fine little towns are cesspools of crime, infested with drug smugglers, anchor baby welfare trolls, where decent people can no longer walk the streets at night. According to the latest census report Selma is, like most of California’s invaded cities, 78 percent Hispanic….and likely half of them illegal. Also cited in this same report is the tragic fact that the local jails are so full these criminals must be turned out early to make way for the next fresh batch of arrestees. The Chief of Police lamented the fact that the “criminal early out” program allows the newly released criminals to go out and commit more crime. During my entire 22-year Air Force career I always dreamed of retiring to my sedate and peaceful little town where I grew up. Then I came home, took a look around, saw the gangsters and the prolific graffiti that graces every street in town and decided to dwell elsewhere. *#10* The U.S. family is rapidly breaking down. 100 years ago, 4.52 were living in the average U.S. household, but now the average U.S. household only consists of 2.59 people <http://www.moneychoice.org/then-vs-now/>. *#11* The NSA spies on virtually everything that we do<http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-rest-of-the-world-is-absolutely-disgusted-with-our-big-brother-spying-methods>, but the Obama administration has banned U.S. law enforcement officials from spying on Islamic mosques<http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/061213-659753-all-intrusive-obama-terror-dragnet-excludes-mosques.htm>without special permission. *#12* Why is the University of Chicago removing pews from an 88-year-old chapel <http://www.campusreform.org/blog/?ID=4787> in order to make room to accommodate Islamic prayer rugs? *#13* Barack Obama has decided to allow the sale of the Plan B One-Step abortion pill to girls under the age of 17<http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jun/11/plan-b-morning-after-pill?guni=Network%20front:network-front%20main-3%20Main%20trailblock:Network%20front%20-%20main%20trailblock:Position1>without a prescription. So now young girls will be able to go to the drug store and pick up these pills at any time and their parents might not ever find out about it. *#14* The United States has lost more than 56,000<http://www.politifact.com/ohio/statements/2011/nov/07/betty-sutton/betty-sutton-says-average-15-us-factories-close-ea/>manufacturing facilities since 2001, and millions upon millions of good paying jobs have been shipped out of the country. But Barack Obama is secretly negotiating<http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/obamas-secret-treaty-which-would-push-the-deindustrialization-of-america-into-overdrive>even more “free trade” agreements which will destroy our economic infrastructure even further. *#15* The state legislature of California has just passed a law<http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/13-14/bill/asm/ab_1251-1300/ab_1266_bill_20130425_amended_asm_v98.htm>that allows boys to shower with girls in the public schools if that is more “consistent” with their gender identity. *#16* Why is Barack Obama strongly against<http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/obama-strongly-objects-to-religious-liberty-amendment.html>a measure that is being proposed in Congress that would protect the “religious liberty” of American service members? *#17* In the United States today, the government treats military veterans like human garbage<http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/25-signs-that-military-veterans-are-being-treated-like-absolute-trash-under-the-obama-administration>. Back in 2009, the number of veterans that had been waiting for more than a year to have their veteran benefits approved was 11,000<http://www.allgov.com/news/controversies/veterans-waiting-more-than-a-year-for-benefits-have-grown-from-11000-to-245000-under-obama-130312?news=849399>. Today, that number has soared to 245,000<http://www.allgov.com/news/controversies/veterans-waiting-more-than-a-year-for-benefits-have-grown-from-11000-to-245000-under-obama-130312?news=849399>. While they are waiting, the federal government is glad to provide them with “end of life” literature that helps them to determine when their lives are “no longer worth living<http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204683204574358590107981718.html> “. *#18* Today, the U.S. ranks only 51st in the world for life expectancy even though we spend far more on health care than anyone else on the planet does. Sadly, our health care system has become a giant money making scam<http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/50-signs-that-the-u-s-health-care-system-is-a-gigantic-money-making-scam-that-is-about-to-collapse>that is not really concerned about whether most of us live or die. *#19* The level of government dependence in the United States is at a level that we have never seen before<http://thetruthwins.com/archives/21-facts-about-rising-government-dependence-in-america-that-will-blow-your-mind>. Back in 1960, the ratio of social welfare benefits to salaries and wages was approximately 10 percent <http://www.cnbc.com/id/41969508>. In the year 2000, the ratio of social welfare benefits to salaries and wages was approximately 21 percent <http://www.cnbc.com/id/41969508>. Today, the ratio of social welfare benefits to salaries and wages is approximately 35 percent <http://www.cnbc.com/id/41969508>. *#20* The U.S. national debt is now $16,738,704,836,178.59, and it is being projected that it will increase by another 106 trillion dollars<http://www.nationalreview.com/article/350983/ron-johnsons-transformative-proposal-jonathan-strong>over the next 30 years. Of course that will never happen. The truth is that the financial system of America will totally collapse long before we ever add another 106 trillion dollars to our debt.
