Psychology of the falling of an Empire

With each passing day we draw closer to a point in time that the U.S finds it's self losing her " Empire " status . From the bad economy , to new super nation states being formed , to the inevitable redeploying of her troops on her own soil . We seem to be witnessing the fall of an empire . All of this will effect the people of the U.S , from seeing there leaders deal with other national leaders in a much different fashion then we are a custom to , to a loss in buying power of her money , to less of a leadership role on the world stage and the inevitable change in how her people view themselves and there position in the world .

How will these changes effect the people of the U.S ? how does a people deal with the loss of an Empire ?

Will the people even care ? Will they even notice a difference ? How will the world change as a result ?

The tragedy is that it is the middle class America that is suffering from the idiocy of Bilderberg and the elite of this country. If the leadership would have been honest to us, together we could have done a lot to bring the country back on its feet.
