I think the media/police use the full name (including middle name) of serial killers so that innocent people who happen to have the same first and last names won't get mixed-up with the criminal.
Yes, we are sadly in decline. Every since the era of Reagonomics and de-regulation, American has been on a slow and steady decline. Income disparity between the super rish and the middle class are larger than they have been since before the Great Depression in the 1920's. This means that the middle class no longer has the consumer power to easily pull the country out of this never-ending recession.
And its the fault of those who say our taxes are too high. Taxes are actually lower than they have been since the 1950's (http://www.usatoday.com/money/perfi/taxes/2010-05-10-taxes_N.htm)
A country cannot succeed without investment in its resources and its children. We are digging ourselves a huge hole.
I cannot see an end to this, besides waiting until the baby boomer/tea party generation dies off.
