I don't really think it all the politicians fault. We have gotten lazy expecting more money for less work, how many people actually worked hard today for their employer? Employers have stopped taking care of their employees, reducing their benefits and when expenses need cut they start at the bottom, they could cut 1% at the top but they decide to cut 20% from the bottom. We buy the cheapest **** we can find, so of course it all got outsourced to other countries, no American would work for what we pay to have stuff made for us, plus they are to busy being hung over or wronged to put in the quality and effort the 10yr old kids do in the sweatshops that build our stuff for us. We go to wal mart and stand in a self checkout line for 15 mins because the place that actually hires humans is to expensive. We don't look out for each other, we are rude, selfish and self important. People blame teachers and the education system for their children's performance and put no blame on themselves. Look at the legal system and all the stupid lawsuits because people want to blame someone else for their problems. Everyone needs to have healthcare, people who don't have it drive up the cost for the rest of us. I know it is expensive but I love that people can afford internet, cable, smart phones and other luxuries, but can't afford to take care of their civil responsibilities. I agree it is to expensive and I don't care for obamacare, I would rather see it if you don't have health insurance it is cash up front or they don't treat you, let people die in the parking lot if they don't what to be responsible, at least they should be able to make a tweet about it before the bite it. People have confused "rights" with proper etiquette, I have a right to treat someone like a ****, doesn't mean I should. We can't find any middle ground or respect different points of view, you don't have to agree with someone, but the way we treat people we don't agree with has gotten a little out of hand.
Just my .02 cents.
