America's Best Years?

By Kelsey Seidler
January 10, 2013

A recent Gallup poll showed mixed results on whether America's best years are ahead of us or behind us; what do you think? Are the U.S.'s best years...

Behind us: 52.6%
Ahead of us: 36.8%
Unsure: 10.6%

Comments

America is very definitely and sadly in an overall state of decline. As a nation, we seem to be intent on an enactment of "The Rise and Fall of the United States."

3 decades behind us....."

It's all up from here - or certain doom; the jury is still out.

For the last 2000 years someone has proclaimed the end of the world- but almost everything just keeps getting better for almost everyone.

Way behind us

Especially when up to 50% of Americans are not contributing and only taking!!
