A nation that will drive across town to save a nickel on gallon of gas, but the government steals and squanders trillions over the years and few care enough to give it a couple of minutes of thought in their lives.
Thousands of dollars per person per year pissed away, no one cares! We get the government we deserve.
So true, so true. The people I know say ... "what can I do about it?" They feel powerless. As individuals we are one vote, no influence of any consequence and completely overwhelmed by the medias. Bleak picture. This forum diffuses lots of angst and frustraton; yet knowing what we know it is a long way from being effective ... look at immigration, spending programs, especially education, ... anon ad nauseum.
I so agree we 'can', but 'how' ...? the corruption of our legislative branches, bureaucracies, The supreme court making and confirming unconstitutional laws, the power of the lobbists etc. etc. etc. we are so outnumbered by the blind minded who fall for the crap of the democratics and socialists.
It will take a new generation of aware and dedicated youth to replace the current band of hippies and degenerate community, state and national leaders to bring in a wave of effective change.
