why does it seem that in the past 10 years America has been done nothing but get more and more in debt? We all are so poor at the moment. And their only solution is to borrow money and give it away for free to try to stimulate the economy. Not only that but Americans seem so greedy. Don't get me wrong I've been American all my life. It seems lately, however that I become more and more disgusted to be an American. Our once great country seems to be going downhill very fast. Is it just me, or do we seem doomed to be destroyed by her own greed? I don't pretend to have any answers. I just keep having horrible nightmares about America being bought out by another country. Can anyone explain why it is we are having such a hard time? I wish that our laws were everything they're supposed to be. But things just seem to be going very wrong right now. Can anyone shed a little light?

Well then someone needs to start. We need a leader who will bring us into a revolution. We have all these people looking at our system, and none of them can tell us how to stop accruing so much debt? I know it's not easy, but seriously! What happens when the governments we owe money to decide it's time to pay up? Do they get part of our land? I have been doing a lot of talking about governments with people online. I realize that no government is actually in the green. I just can't see why our current national debt is increasing massively every day. Can we not do something about it?

the only way possible to overthrow a government these days is a military kue that's where the military so strongly disagree with the presidents decisions that they over throw the government and take over this isn't mexico we cant just rally the towns people and grab out pitch forks lol and no we really cant i mean its in the constitution that we have a right to start militia but try it lol i bet the atf is knocking on your door in a day and next thing you know you will be branded a trader and prob a terrorist and locked up they can pretty much do what ever they want we are pawn in there game i wish it weren't true but ill tell ya what you come up with an idea and ill be the first to sign up !lol
