What is happening to this country?

Well, you could write pages and pages and still not be finished!

Bottom line is, the direction of America is misguided, in my opinion. Government has been forced into areas where it had NO business being, and more important issues have been either ignored or used for personal agenda.

More and more deadbeats are using the "system" so that working Americans are taxed to the point of breaking and no relief is in sight. Instead of refuting some of those ridiculously federally funded programs, the older workers are being forced to work longer. No early retirement anymore, and if you're lucky, you won't have any medical problems!! Because if you DO, then you're DONE.

Few people have the work ethic and pride that was taught to me by my parents. Those characteristics are few and far between anymore, and they were the building blocks of adulthood way back when I was being raised!
