Except for the Iraq war (maybe!!!) everything else be as noted regardless of who is in the White House.

There are 525 very key people to blame (congress + senate ). They are NOT fulfilling the wishes and needs of the people. Quite frankly they just sort of do as they please or not. Any relationship to the needs of the people would be purely coincidental.
Until such time as the majority of the voting population of this Country begin to stand and be counted...DEMANDING their REPRESENTATIVES....get it.....REPRESENTATIVES..... start catering to the needs if their constituents. Using my favorite term...the silent majority, not only gets all the horrors listed as the topic of this thread....the list of what they don't get is even more pathetic.
I keep asking, what is the event or series of events that need to happen to US citizens off their butts and get after their legislators.

Change? I'll give you a suggestion......the silent majority switch from permissive pacifism to passionate persuasion. Until then NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE!!!

It isn't those of us who are fortunate to live in a place like TV where we are some what insulated from the reality of the day to day....the ones to pay will be our grand children and theirs........because if you don't get change underway and you don't like what is/is not happening today....think about how much worse it is going to be for them. :dontknow:

Too many people in their comfort zone are not about to stand up and be counted because they can't be bothered...not their problem...it's not in their back yard (yet).

What kills me is everybody knows it is the silent majority yet NOTHING happens and the 525 in Washington count on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It makes me sick ::
