Happy birthday America

Tomorrow marks the passing of 233 years since the announcement of the Declaration of Independence, a singular achievement in the annals of history. Right now things are pretty bleak for the USA. The economy keeps shedding jobs at an alarming rate. The actions by the government to counter the job losses have not performed as promised (Obama promised that the stimulus package would keep unemployment below 8% and it is now 9.5% and heading higher). On the international front, America's enemies are still developing nuclear weapons. US prestige has taken a major hit. Nevertheless, it is important for us all to remember that we still live in a great country and to celebrate that fact tomorrow. Happy Birthday America!
