I could have sworn I still lived in America

So I have to say that the news that I've been stomaching for the last few months has me asking the question, "When did I move to Germany?" I really want to know? When I was a kid people made fun of people who bought foreign cars. We made fun of British people for bad teeth. We laughed at Canada for their lack of a military. We even said that Japanese engineering meant that you reverse engineered something. So here we are living in a country where everyone has left their Ford for a Toyota. They are running headlong into socialized health care. We are even allowing our military to be beat up by a bunch of guys that live in caves. We are even to the point where no electronics are made in the USA.
So I ask you what is it that we do now to stop this snowball into a Socialist country to weak to defend itself and unable to even make a TV?
