Don’t worry. When my generation takes over all this stuff will be reversed. We’re only waiting until the hippies retire and after seizing control we’ll rebuild this country, step by bitter step. It’s only a matter of waiting it out and contrary as to how we are represented and described, we care more about this country and its values than most realize.
Sure, keep dreaming. Until and unless your generation takes back the schools and news media very soon, there will not be any productive citizens to populate your country.
Here's an idea which could restore a measure of solvency to social security and shink government gradually at the same time. Heck, I'd even volunteer to be a senior bureaucrat under this plan and help undermine some of the aging hippie overlords.
Dream on... Life as I knew it in the US turned downward about the time pervert Clinton became president.
It has since been a downward spiral.
I sold off everything in 2002 and adjusted my life so I can live anywhere.
At this point I can not even conceive of living in the US.
Here I live as well or better then ever, without a car, without a credit card, and without a house.
I am now over 60, so child rearing and other responsibilities are behind me.
Sad to say, I do not see the good times ever returning in the US. I just see it getting MUCH worse.
I applaud your enthusiasm and love of country and it's a ray of hope to read it, but...
I hope that you're right and that it's not too late by then.
Can’t happen soon enough! Our votes sure aren’t the answer.
See Post #5 and this article, Study: Detroit gets F in Grad Rate.
The time for action is NOW, not when the hippies and Liberals give up their hold on power (they won't!).
Not one of our Presidential candidates will stop the downward spiral. They will only aid and abet the destruction. Our only hope is to start by turning Congress and the Senate around (a daunting task). In four years, it will be too late. America will be past the point of no return. The worst will be cemented in with new laws and the Supreme Court will be stacked with new Liberals.
America will be effectively finished just in time for you to raise your kids.
