U.S is in turmoil.
It is nearer to recession.
10 banks have collapsed.
Fannie and Freddie have been taken over by Fed.
Lehman Bros is filing bankruptcy.
Disaster announcements are frequent.
The top officials are bitten by the bug.
Bank of America acquires Merrill .
It is a slow march towards trouble.
Elections are round the corner.
The incumbent ,a democrat or republican,has to perform.
He has to work round the clock to make the nation ticking.
It is facile to head a prosperous state.
It is onerous to lead a quake prone country.
U.S is in a delicate devolution.
The popular attribute to U.S was “a land of plenty”.
A jocular remark was prevelant in the last four decades..It said,
Even a donkey, which entered U.S ,without any travel documents, refused to cross the soil.
Now the land of riches is in a sordid state.
The land of opportunities is now a place of distortions.
The financials are in the brink of liquidation.
The future of the nation is bleak.
Arrogance ,audacity and imperialism have given way to anguish, agony and peevishness.
The state has to mend its ways.
It has a laborious task ahead.
Quenching snobbishness, quelling war thirst and stabilising the quivering economy will take the nation to its one time glory.
I wish you well, my ailing brother.
