How do we fix America? What policies should we change? Do lobbyists have too much power? Read on...?

we tend to try to deal with the symptoms of everything these days instead of the problem. The problem is that the families of america are in severe disrepair. Mainly to the neglect of the fathers. The family is the smallest and most foundational form of personal government in the united states and as such is the most important. If the families were raised with conservative mindsets and they then began to affect the government, then our country could foster a major shift back to the right. Our form of government does require maintenance, we have become lax in our responsibilities.

The problem with the USA is currently being resolved. The country is going to be hit by the most enormous hyper-inflation ever in coming years that it will effectively cause the USA to cease to exist.

The problem with the USA is complicated. Is too much freedom a bad thing? With the ending of market regulations by successive Republican administrations, industry now effectively controls America. The biggest - weapons manufacturing - not only controls the government but also the "news" media. So, they can do anything, and they can tell the people anything!

It would appear that the people of America can be made to believe absolutely anything by their TVs. It is so obvious that 9/11 was an inside job that it's actually painful to think that some people still believe otherwise.

Lobbyists, like the electorate, are irrelevant. They are just part of an enormous smoke-screen designed to fool the people into believing that they actually make a difference. Only mass movements have any impact upon policy at all. And then it's quickly undone.

I think a great deal of our problems come from poor campaign finance laws. Politicians sell votes that do not matter in their districts to lobbyist for donations to their and others campaigns. It is totally corrupt. Kudos to John McCain for being open and honest about this when he has ran for office. McCain is a great American, and sometimes I feel bad I didn't vote for him.

Economically, our nation will recover. We have taken a massive blow from the housing market and wall street implosion. But we will dig our way out. But it will take time. Will Obama survive reelection? I don't know. But I think we are on the right track toward recovery. Obama , in my humble opinion, stopped the 2nd great depression, so it will be years before we are back on our feet.

You can never, ever, make a change that all like. If you increase taxes to balance the budget, those who get taxed more will be unhappy. If you cut the budget, those who lose their jobs, and those who lose the service those jobs provided will be unhappy, so give up on universal happiness now, for your own sanity.

75% of wealth in 1% of the peoples hands is sort of a problem. It does develop an elite class. But this can easily be fixed by the inheritance tax ( estate tax, death tax, what ever you call it) being used with a very high start number, say 50 million. So the first 50 million of your estate passes tax free, and after that it is taxed according to what ever number they pass into law.

These are my solutions, but I'm a liberal, so plenty will disagree.

The answer is to ask these people to commit voluntary euthanasia. They are the troublemakers of society:
