America has lost faith in the HONESTY and SANITY of its leaders.

"Whatever became of that America? What ever became of that can-do nation? What has happened to us?"

This is simple to answer. Just track the growth of government from December 7, 1942 to today. The more government increases, the less capable America has become.

Our leaders are competent at one thing, manipulating the system to keep their sorry butts in office. That's it. They never did anything before and that's what they've spent their lives doing.

Under Bush, we're told we're going to have a 100 year war against, well against what exactly. Today, with ISIS, it's the turn of the Obama people to tell us this war will last decades.

There is no thought of victory. There is no strategy for victory. There will be no victory. We're supposed to have faith is this? And it both sides of the political class coin. Heads they win, tails the People lose. Yup, that's what I have confidence in.

The U.S. Interstate Highway System would be an impossible project today.

Eminent Domain opponents would bury the whole country in lawsuits.

They actually tore down my grandmother's house in the 70’s to build an I-95 on-ramp.

I don't know about highways, but if Pfizer wants to raze a neighborhood, cities like New London, CT are happy to to carry the water for them.
