Can the US avoid the End of an Empire?

Is there a political solution in the US to avoid the end of Empire, or is it a function of physics? I think this is a big part of, like, Sax's point of view that there's a solution; we need to change these people. Or are there too many, call it, conflating forces—social forces, economic forces—that all kind of rise and fall together, and it becomes an inevitability?

There are pre-existing conditions that represent challenges. For example, the amount of debt that we're in represents a—you can't pretend it; it exists. So it represents a challenge. There are a lot of these challenges, but it is not inevitable.

What is needed is, first of all, a strong middle to bring the country together in terms of rather than to have this fighting. Because if we continue the way we will, we're going to have a conflict.

Then there needs to be a good engineering exercise that's going to produce, but it has to be bipartisan. It has to be bipartisan, with that strong middle taking control of the extremes, because neither side's going to win a great Reformation.

That Reformation has, I think, should take the form of—like, if I was President of the United States, what I would do is I'd have a bipartisan cabinet. I'm not, I'm not running for president.
