Why are our leaders screwing us over in so many ways?
Makes you wonder who really is driving the bus! So many American citizens have had really bad things happen to them in the last decade all the while claiming we are in war overseas to help foreign peoples and it is in our best interest? My personal life is damn near massive depressing since I served in the military, honorable discharge, 4 years of service, and turned down by the social security judge for my health conditions while I was literally unconscious during the court proceedings, they had to carry me in to see the judge. WTF is going on America? Are we just totally heading for self destruction, or does anyone actually care about saving this once invincible land? I have millions of reasons I can explain why I feel like giving up. Somebody get back to me, because I like to think back to when the USA was a very positive place, and I would like to connect with people who would like to see America actually restored and make it at least a nicer place to live again. It seams like if it makes since and it helps our country our leaders will not do it, whether it be government, business, bankers, even media anchors and channels these days. Basically I feel we are in a world of **** and no one cares or is trying to change a damn thing. I have already had several nervous breakdowns, that I feel is unnecessary, has anyone experienced similar?

OK you know what? Hand outs huh? I have worked 15 plus years of overtime back breaking work building your houses, cutting your sheet metal, serving in the air assault infantry carrying bodies that weighed as much as me for 10 miles running with 175 lbs of full gear, I have a severely disabled spine, mental trauma, I am taking pills that literally pin me to the floor, I can barely wipe my own *** these days, and you say hand outs?!?! I am sure you are the younger generation that has had the easiest jobs, the most money and support, and soak up every last dollar this country needs, I have become disabled and I have done nothing but faithfully served this country for over 15 years full-time, when I need the help screw me? No screw you! My guess is you type on a laptop all day or work in a bakery all the while telling people they are asking for hand outs. My guess you wouldn't know a real day of hard work if you have seen one. But then again everyone knows you like to scr
But then again everyone knows you like to screw over the people that have really earned their way for political purposes. Go back to your self centered, barely lifting a finger desk job where you have the time and audacity to complain about real people who you know damn well are getting shafted!!! Eat **** literally and hang from a bridge!!

Go to opensecrets.org and put in one of your senators name and see how much of the $3.7 billion the House and Senate got last year did he or she get. It shows how much they get, who gives it and how they vote
Someone else said it they serve the lobbyists. They are given millions to run for reelection and more if in the back pocket. The lobbyists also employ their families and it's legal cause they voted it that way!
might be why to 2,000 page bills got passed without anyone knowing what was in them. But they cannot serve us and them.

they don't look to be going to screw us over-vast government spending has been shown to paintings in historic previous alongside with that of the U. S.. FDR's New Deal helped with the super melancholy a lot and what have been given us out of it thoroughly?-war time spending aka vast government spending.

I'm on the same boat had a similar incident. While my dream is gone I've learn to think on a much smaller scale

Because we let them have control over the purse. They control 20% GDP. And now add to that 17% in health care, and see what happens.

I think we're starting to finally give a damn. I'm hoping at least.

Just the Liberals. But they have it tough. They don't have any independent thoughts so they are easily manipulated. They also don't a spine or balls.

It seems that you believe that leaders are screwing us over because your benefits (aka handout) were denied. I'm not clear how giving you a check would "restore America".
