What Has Happened to America !
I lived and worked abroad for 10 years. I returned to the USA December, 2006.
It has not taken long to realize that this is not the same America that I left in the mid-nineties. The "GREED" that is so pervasive and ubiquitous has created an uncaring predatory society. America has moved rapidly in the direction of being a country that has far too many "MONEY HUNGRY / MONEY DRIVEN" crooks and thieves. The Politicians and large Corporations top the list and there are many private individuals who are equally as guilty of the same predatory behaviors.
The sad part of this is that Americans cannot see it for themselves.............it's the old adage of being so close to the trees that the forest cannot be seen !
This used to be a great country in the eyes of the entire world. I have personally seen the attitudes / opinions of people the world over change related to this point for a number of different and disturbing reasons.
Contrary to what the politicians and pundits want us to believe, the US Health Care system ranks 37 out of 191 countries according to the World Health Organization. This should be reason for major concern since the USA spends a higher portion of its gross domestic product (approximately 15 - 20%) than any other country in the world on Health related expenditures.
It is a National shame that approximately 50 million of our fellow countrymen do not have / cannot afford Health Care coverage in what used
to be the world's richest country.
In education The United States is losing ground as peers across the globe zoom by with bigger gains in student
achievement according to a recent study. The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) ranked American students 21st out of 30 countries in science performance. The US did even worse in Math, ranking 25th out of 30.
There are many reasons that Americans should be more than concerned about the general direction that America has moved in / is moving in (99.99%
of which has taken place prior to President Obama taking office).
Most important is
the need for "We the
People" to get the country back on track. The "Career
Politicians" who espouse to represent us clearly only become interested
in "We the People" when they want our votes. Once they have been voted
back into to office they return to giving their attention and support to
their Corporate and Wall Street Masters ! Herein, is one of the root
causes for the decline of America and thus, the loss of respect that is
taking place throughout the world.
These comments have not been made
from any particular Political platform. As the bumper sticker on my car
attests:
Democrats / Republicans, same shit, different piles !
The remarks offered herein are statements of
fact that can be easily verified. The choices are
clear.......................America can continue to waste time letting the Politicians
politicize the serious issues that the country faces or...........
Americans ("We the People"), can
choose to return to the steadfastness of character and resolve that is
required to solve the country's
problems. There is only one path that will lead America back to its
rightful place of greatness !
Will "We the People" / America make the right choice ??????????????
