      Because we won't talk about the fallout of our political policies during this crisis, just like 2008-09. Millions of families effectively homeless because we bailed out banks instead of people while convincing the population that it was the right move. Socialist policies for big business and hard core Capitalism for people. The affordability of housing exploded out of reach for millions and banks, like ticks on a blood filled host, grew fat on the blood of those millions of families they displaced. The worst part is the number of lives that will end because there isn't the time left to recover from such massive loss. It takes decades to come close to home ownership, now. In a land with far too few well-paying jobs, a stripped-down, job-only education system that mortgages decades of life, and an uncaring, individualist society blind to the reality is rotting her foundation from the inside.

      Six Strings America has always been one of the most generous nations on Earth when disaster, illness or famine strikes. We’re not perfect to be sure. With the cluster f’ck that Bush 43 created in Iraq and then Obama in Libya, we were ready to start looking inward, yet globalism has crippled this country. Unfortunately, as optimistic as I am, I don’t think we will ever fully come back from this. I also think that the people who’ve looked to blame America for everything wrong in the world, will rue the day they celebrated our decline. But whatever is to come we will meet the challenge.

      Sandy Rickard the people don’t really have any voting power because of the electoral college. Also a lot of people in the US are really ignorant so they don’t even research before they vote and they end up voting for someone just because they’re democrat or republican not because of their ideals and what they’ll do for this country. In order for America to be better we need to abolish the two party system.
