Meanwhile, in the new Rome (the US) citizens are going nuts and want to impeach their president because he is voicing a similar warning.

Is some sort of mass insanity gripping the US?

• 100 million out of work, but no one seems to care;
• Cities collapsing from debt and drug abuse, but no one seems to care;
• Social fabric being ripped to shreds, but all that's being done is to add more fuel to the existing fires.

I think "the eternal city" will survive this crisis, while "the indispensable nation" will not.

Go figure.
