Our greedy dysfunctional government is turning America into a 3rd world country at a record pace and we have allowed this nonsense to go on.It’s hard to even believe how things have changed in 20 years and my life long friends moved on to other countries for a better life and have become very successful.

Nearly every day now I wake up and wonder what happened to America. I recently traveled to a third world country and while they are certainly not as well off financially, they are certainly much, much freer.

You literally cannot step out of bed without immediately bumping up against the onslaught of government regulations. Nearly every citizen is now a criminal some way some how because of all our inane rules and mandates.

Don't have a smoke detector in your house? You're a criminal. Not wearing a seatbelt? You're a criminal. Is you lawn mowed? Did you use the wrong fertilizer? And the list goes on and on and on.

What happened? I told my spouse that once Obama gets into office things would go fast. Her we are high unemployment, declining wages, inflation, crushing national debt, three kinetic military actions, and a country that has been transforming into a welfare state by the liberals and the corrupt MSM.

Honestly, it's hard to be optimistic about the future of this country. Everyone talks a good game about reducing the size of government and spending right up until it affects them, and then they go out in the streets and hold state capitols hostage and complain to high heaven that everyone is being cruel.

No one wants to work. No one is allowed to fail. Government is god and controls every thing and everyone, and the people are apparently fine with this.
