A View From 100,000 Feet
Let's see, as of this morning oil was selling for more than $85 a barrel; the value of the US dollar has declined over 30% in the last five years; we continue to grow a record amount of national debt; the quality of our healthcare has dropped to 37th among all the countries in the world; a significant proportion of Americans have no health insurance at all; we've become the greatest debtor-nation on the planet; social security and medicare are headed for insolvency; the quality of the education of our children continues to decline, particularly in comparison to the developing nations of China, India and Russia; and we're in a war that's the longest in the history of our country, with no end in sight.
Have the people we've elected to represent us in the Congress and lead our country served us well?
Just wondering.
