When americans wake up and realize that government has destroyed our country....??
will it be too late????
-Food prices soaring because of the ignorant policy of corn based ethanol.
-Health care prices soaring because government unwilling to relinquish control and allow free market to work.
-Fuel prices soaring because government unwilling to drill our own oil supply or lower beaurcratic bullsh*t to build nuclear.
-Taxes soaring because government is in the business of gaining wealth, not serving the people.
-Never ending war, because government would rather quarrel like kids then solve the problem.
-Billions in foriegn aid to countries that don't need it or are terrorist countries.
The 2 major parties have candidates that will only make the problem worse.
By the time americans realize they have voted people in to office who will destroy this country, will we have a country left to save.
First, anyone who feel that more social programs are needed to fix this are flat out ignorant. Socialism has created it.
Second, there was a comment about the Dem candidates ending the war. FALSE, both have recanted and said they would need to keep troops their. If a Dem takes office he/she will announce to the world the situation is SO bad in Iraq that he/she must keep troops there. This will be Bullsh*t and only a 'cover my *ss" statement.
I am a glass is half full kinda guy, but as a read the responses I realize that the intelligence tank of the US is running on E.

Can't tell if you're talking about Dems or GOP. If Dems are there, more government for things like health care and higher taxes. Contrary to popular Dem belief, the war will not go away if Obama or Billary get elected, Dems won't let us drill for our own oil, the billions in foreign aid won't go away either. All this still goes on with GOP government. I guess maybe that's your point.

Although I agree that government is a source of many of our problems, we must take some responsibility for that. This is a government of the people, by the people and for the people and it's about time we let those we elect know that. The influence by special interest groups, lobbyists and PACs is out of control. They are undermining the direction the people want this country to go in. We the PEOPLE are so lethargic, except at election time, to the behavior of our representatives that those same representatives think they have a blank check, or the total agreement, from us to do what they want. When will that stop? I know I communicate with my reps, do you?

1. We have plenty of corn. The prices are high cause of fuel demand, war in the middle east, and we let them so they are.
2. Other countries have socialized health care and it works fine. For profit health care is a bad idea from the get go.
3. Fuel prices are up- see 1
4. I agree, lets get rid of lobbyists and do some real election reform.
5. I agree. Let's worry about our problems, then theirs.
6. I agree. Except for the terrorist part. Most "terrorists" are only POed cause Americans either directly or indirectly killed someone they know and/or Americans have invaded and overthrown their country/ culture.
EDIT- Ryan. I think BJs would be good for everyone.

You need to be specific.......REPUBLICAN control of government has ruined the country because they don't believe in good, efficient, well-managed government, only the chaotic amorality of unregulated free-markets.*
Free markets are the problem, not the solution. Everything proper government has been doing has revolved around cleaning-up the messes free markets make.
For example; unregulated, competitive, free-market financial engineering is the cause of the financial crisis that FORCED the Fed to bailout Wall Street to prevent the collapse of our entire banking system. The financial wizards making those multi-million dollar salaries didn't even understand their own products or know what they had on their books!
It's unbelievable that conservatives still worship at the altar of such reckless social engineering. The Constitution still gives the People the power to regulate commerce and promote the general welfare (conservatives, please see the definition of "general welfare" the Constitution refers to below). If conservatives don't want to take control of their social and economic fate, other Americans will!
Source(s): *For more information on the successes and failures of markets, see "Everything for Sale: The Virtues and Limits of Markets" by the economist Robert Kuttner (ISBN 0394583922) Health-care is a classic market-failure (no substitutions, inability to forgo consumption until care affordable, negative insurance selection, asymmetry of information, etc). General welfare: General state of doing well especially in respect to good fortune, happiness, well-being, or prosperity. (Merriam-Webster) - Anonymous1 decade ago
Yes it will be too late. Too many Americans want government to do something for them. Farm welfare, social welfare, corporate welfare, Health care, Schools. etc. etc.
