As you may have noticed were not doing so hot, America that is, at least economically. We all have our theories as to why and i am no exception. So what is eating America (in my opinion) is Greed. An overarching lack of moral responsibility lays over our country, and as this illustration displays it is eating us. I am sure it is more complicated than i understand it to be, but as far as i can see we all want what we want but dont want to pay for it. Unchecked this will cripple us. But maybe hard times are what we need.  My Noni (grandmother) as a child worked her way through the great depression, growing all there food and not having any hot water. as she told me this story said ” i am afraid for your generation and the next, because they have never known life without comfort.” I agree with her, more comfort doesn’t mean better quality. We need to learn how to live with less.
