The “American Dream”, how it was intended, has nothing to do with foreign policy. How I see the American Dream doesn’t involve “policing the world”, but rather lies in its economic system. Anyone born in the ghetto can work his or her bum off and live in a mansion someday. What’s REALLY ruining the American Dream is the damn sub-prime lending problem; banks giving their “professional opinion” that people can afford houses that they really can’t based on appreciation that just doesn’t exist; and the idiot people who believe them and LIVE in houses that they know are above their means. Now 9% of our country’s homeowners are facing eviction and our GOVERNMENT has to step in and rescue them. You know, as if people didn’t rely on the government for enough crap that’s not their responsibility already.
