The U.S. will lose its status as the superpower of the world financial system. The world will become multi-polar.

If the nation is not capable of preserving itself and reproducing, if it loses it vital bearings and ideals, then it doesn't need foreign enemies - it will fall apart on its own.

Once our country is fully engulfed in a debt crisis, our economy will be torn apart, and every American will be a victim of the federal government's failure to prevent this disaster.

We have been dealt a very weak hand by the financial market meltdown, bailouts, and recession. We can't act like it's a strong one.

There's no way that that our military power will not erode if a robust American economic revival is not part of the cards.

We're on the verge of a financial collapse unless we balance the budget, and that means some really, really tough decisions.

The global economic outlook remains fragile and uncertain. Global economic imbalances persist and we must address them or risk future instability.

Our global economy is much more fragile than many of us realize.

The U.S has acquired reservoirs of goodwill around the globe over many years. But it is clear - from polling data and ample anecdotal evidence - that America is losing its allure in much of the world.
