Carson: ‘I Believe That Our Country’s Biggest Threats Come from Within’

‘We have to develop all of our people and we have to start thinking in a group sense, of how do we develop and make America a place of success for everybody’

RADDATZ: "And just a final question, Dr. Carson. You said you worry about the future of our country, you’ve compared our country to the Roman empire— do you really believe our country could fall? Collapse?"
CARSON: "I believe that our country biggest threats come from within. From failing to address our incredible fiscal irresponsibility. by allowing our populace to become enemies with each other, stirring up hatred and strife within our country. By allowing the education to take a second seat, by giving a lot of lip service but not actually taking care of it. One of the things that allow us so rapidly to advance so early on, was the fact that we had a relatively well educated populous, and Alexi de Tocqueville was so impressed with that when he came over here to study America. We only have 330 million people in this country, we have to compete against china and India who have more than a billion people. We have to develop all of our people and we have to start thinking in a group sense, of how do we develop and make America a place of success for everybody."
