Link: "Sic Transit Gloria Americanus"

Left Coast Rebel: Sic Transit Gloria Americanus?

And perhaps, more importantly, how do we get back?

Because most of the first part was driven by private industry, and most of the second part was driven by the Government.

Man! That really puts things into perspective!

I contend that if not for The Great Society efforts of the Dems, we might now be ON the Moon full time and on our way to Mars on a regular basis. Instead, we frittered away our time and money on "social justice" or some such crap.
