No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people, but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality and virtue, and by frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.

~ George Mason

If the above is true, I think that as a nation, we're ok, except for the moderation, temperance, frugality and virtue part.
