The Single Greatest Threat to the United States of America: Part 1

Do you know what the single greatest threat to the United States of America is?

If you ask ten people this question you are very likely get ten different answers. If you believe what you read in the newspapers or on the internet, or what you see on TV or hear on the radio, you are likely to believe that it is one or more of the “threats du jour” that causes so many of the news reporters to scream hysterically and yell, “We're all going to die if (fill in the blank) happens.”

I’m also sure there are many more threats (real or perceived) that you could add to this list, but, no matter how many you add, none of these threats would be the single greatest threat to the United States.

So, what IS the single greatest threat to the United States of America? I’ll give you three guesses and bet that you get it wrong all three times.

Care to take the challenge? Take your three guesses and then read the rest of this post to see if you’re right. If you are, congratulations! You’re in the top 1/10th of 1% of Americans (OK, so I made that statistic up, but I’ll make you another bet that I’m pretty darn close).

If you’re wrong, don’t worry. By the time you finish reading this post you will not only know what the single greatest threat is, you will also know what you can do about it.

But before I tell you the single greatest threat to the United States, let me tell you what it’s NOT!

In fact, you can name any threat you could possibly dream up and 99.9% of you would be wrong (there’s those darned statistics again)!

That being said, each and every one of the above threats—perceived or otherwise—is indeed a real, or potential, threat to the United States, some more so than others, some much more. 

Furthermore, I believe that there is an extremely high probability that, if left unchecked, one or more of these threats will cause irreparable harm to the United States, and I believe that it will occur within my lifetime (and I'm older than Methuselah)

So what is the single greatest threat to the United States of America?
