I believe that our last opportunity to restore the American economic miracle, through aggressive pro-growth policies, has passed and that we are now destined for permanent decline due to ever increasing debt and government regulation. I am not whining, for we still live in a democracy and the people have spoken. Whoever inherits our economic mess in 2016 and beyond will have few options other than trying to slow the decline. As a Baby Boomer, I can say that my generation is the most selfish in American history. Unfortunately, it is our children and grandchildren who will pay the price.
