Those Who Misspend Freedom Responsible for America's Decline

   Who is responsible for America's decline? Those who misspend freedom. 
   Some use it to purchase lives of laxity. Some find in it leeway for corruption. Some use it to borrow unwisely from future generations.
   The rise and fall of nations is determined, to some degree, by what freedoms they choose to value. If they see freedom at the right to riotous living (to taking drugs and such), they will become a lazy and unproductive society. But, if they see freedom as the right to better themselves (to gain an education and such), they will be more inclined to prosper.
