It's Not Your Father's USA Anymore

 After observing fifty years of politics in the USA, I can safely say that it is not my father's USA anymore.  I base my fifty years on becoming aware of and involved in politics at the age of twenty, although, I believe that my interest actually started much earlier with the popularity of JFK.


The USA has dramatically and for the worse changed:

  • Division is at an all time high
  • K-12 education is ranked 15th in the world
  • A decreasing military (power & personnel)
  • Wage and Salary differences
  • Politicians no longer represent their constituents
  • A decrease in the value of the dollar
  • A decrease in the quality of life
  • An increase in the cost of healthcare
  • Uncontrolled tech giants
  • A weaponized DOJ and FBI
  • Censorship of conservatives
  • A declining American dream


If you think that a different President will change any of this, you are mistaken.  For instance, if Trump wins in November, he will:

  • reduce illegal immigration
  • start producing gasoline again
  • reduce inflation
  • improve wages slightly
  • present a tough global presence


BUT...  very little, if any, of those first bulleted items will be changed.


The new generation DOES NOT LIKE OR APPROVE of the way the older generations were managing the USA - they see things differently.  They are not worried about wars, or diluted education, nor are they worried about finances because someone will take care of them like they always have.


When you give your children more because you had very little, then those children will expect more and more and more.
