July 31, 201610 yr We'''ve Been on the Wrong Track Since 1972 - The Daily Beast The article is a couple of years old, but man is it relevant. Watching three different news programs this morning and the question of the direction of the country was discussed on all three. Americans seem hard to please.
July 31, 201610 yr Most aren't hard to please. Government needs to quit spending money like a drunken sailor (I can say that, I've been one :lol2:). Get rid of all the pork. The government needs to quit telling me what is best for me. I know what is best for me and my family.
July 31, 201610 yr Author I thought it was interesting that only three times since 1972 have the citizens of the greatest and most affluent nation in the world have approved of the nation's direction. 3 times that never lasted over 2 years each. One of the periods was after 9/11: a terrorist attack made us feel better about the direction of our country. :idunno: #toughcrowd
July 31, 201610 yr The country's debt is going to cause grave financial problems for the US economy, and I'm afraid that it's closer than any of the politicians want to admit.

Example, as I mentioned in another thread last week about how Obama will get blamed for anything and everything. Such as with gas prices, gas prices too high? It's a bad thing and it's Obama's fault! Has prices low? It's now a bad thing and it's Obama's fault. So yes, many people want to whine about anything and everything. Fox News contorts to blame Obama for gas prices, high and low | MSNBC

July 31, 201610 yr Yes, and let me keep a good portion of what I earn so I can invest in the economy. Absolutely, government does not support businesses and hire people. My dollars do that. The more you take the less I have to dump back into the economy. It's not hard to understand.

Fox News contorts to blame Obama for gas prices, high and low | MSNBC As I've said before if Obama(or Hillary)discovered a cure for cancer, critics(especially BGP scholars) would still abound, saying, "what business does he(or she) have meddling in cancer cures?" Their hate (for Obama and Hillary)has blackened their souls, to paraphrase Mr. Khan.

Let's not pretend the same hasn't happened for every president with an ® behind their name since we've been alive....
