A Nation Falling Apart at the Seams

With each passing day you can't help but wonder, what's next? The things happening in America are happening so quickly. For example, just a few years ago we had the most secure borders ever and we were energy independent. Evidence indicates that America is more divided than ever and from the highest office in the land, Resurrection Sunday was hijacked by a transgender day of visibility.

So as you look at our nation from these facets as well as others, it's clear that America is "falling apart at the seams."

Returning to Crosstalk to explain why was Alex Newman. Alex is an award-winning international freelance journalist, author, researcher, educator and consultant. He is senior editor for The New American.

Alex began his analysis by describing his prognosis for the future of America. He believes that when you look at the situation objectively and honestly, we're a nation that is on the verge of collapse and that we're seeing the judgment of God due to wickedness that unfortunately pervades much of society. That is coupled with blatant rebellion that will only bring more judgment to our land.

Our national debt situation topped the list of areas of concern. Jim indicated that the U.S. debt stands at 34.6 trillion dollars. That doesn't include what's been raided from Social Security and other funds. Alex responded by indicating that we're on the verge of "economic catastrophe." We have over 200 trillion in unfunded liabilities. That's about ten times the size of the national economy and what we produce in a year and there's no way that this figure could ever be paid off. Alex believes that this alone means certain economic doom.
