Big government, big business, and the whole "Global community/marketplace" mentality got us in the situation we're in. We have a globalist president who seems to care more about other countries than our own, we give money and aid to countries that secretly (and openly) hate us. The UN condemns almost all our actions, and tries to impose it's will over US citizens. It seems the rest of the world is bent on seeing our country's downfall. Well, where would the world be if not for America? Has the rest of the world forgotten all that we've done for them? Who pulled England's,France's, and even China's fat out of the fryer in WWII? Who's among the first country to step in when corrupt leaders slaughter and oppress their own citizens? I say it's time to pull back from the rest of the world, let them see how quickly things would fall apart without the US. It's about time we started worrying about ourselves. In earlier days America was a great "melting pot", where hard working immigrants could enter legally, find freedom and a hand up. Now it has been turned into something akin to a slop bucket with illegals flooding over the border looking for a hand out causing over-population. Our government can give 800 billion dollars to failing financial institutions, yet there are failing farms, starving people, and wounded soldiers who have to go through Hell to receive a cent. Especially our brave troops overseas who selflessly fight and die for others' freedom using outdated equipment because military spending has been cut by the big wigs. Companies that move thousands of jobs overseas should be penalized, not rewarded with tax breaks. On the other hand companies that move/stay here and create American jobs should be rewarded. While the welfare system in this country can help those who truly need it, there are millions of people who have found out how to abuse it and take hard working American's tax dollars because they're just too lazy to work. This country needs to downsize big government, more closely regulate or close our borders, reform it's wasteful policies and let the rest of the world take care of it's self for awhile. And that's the way I see it.
