'We're in decline.' Now, decline is usually interpreted as irreversible, like Rome went into decline and just evaporated in terms of its power...This is loaded with pessimism. We are not a pessimistic nation. We are an optimistic nation. Have we lost that?

Regarding the U.S. state of affairs, Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida and brother of the former president, has this sobering view: 'We're in very difficult times right now, very different times than we've been in. We're in decline. That distinguishes us - where we are.' |
