Does it matter the facts or statistics as with Health care facilities that are largely owned and operated by private sector businesses. 62% of the hospitals are non-profit, 20% are government owned, 18% are for-profit. American's spend more for Health Care, leaving us Ranked at 48% of other Nations in 2011.
47 million Americans hit by food stamp cuts starting Nov 2013, as a temporary boost to the federal program comes to an end without a new budget from a deadlocked Congress to replace it.
Does it matter that America's National Debt is at $17,197,824,760,459 plus some change. America is still recovering from the 2008 Recession, and no one wants Taxes raised. A very busy Debt Clock keeps ticking away.
But there is some good news Congratulations, America! Your deficit fell 37 percent in 2013
Does it matter that Our Government had to shut down, American's are laid off or on Furlough indefinitely. Now comes the Fiscal Year 2014 Budget are we heading for another Recession, does Our Government plan on Increasing Deficit Spending or is Our Government headed for another Shutdown that Will Only Make The Budget Deficit Worse in 2014
History of the US Debt 1790-2013
Whose Fault is it Anyway ? So who has the Answer ? as the words were spoken on 19 Nov 1863, 150 years ago yesterday "and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
Rising Health Costs is a plague, as is our Nations Spending, it has become an addiction while Our Nation goes deeper in debt...
....and there are those wanting to be an American, have the American Dream, Our Way of Life, to believe in America, Defend America, Stand Up and Be Counted as an America
At the same time there are People that blame those on who do not Vote, and of those who do not Vote...live with the consequences of not Voting.
However look where the Vote has gotten American's...and yet American's will still complain...so is it those American's who do Vote are to blame or those who have not Voted ?
If born in the US, you are automatically an American, or had a parent or parents who were citizens at the time of your birth and born of a foreign land you work & study to become an American Naturalized Citizen you must be able to read, write, and speak English. You must also possess a knowledge and understanding of U.S. History and Government. Citizenship & Immigration Services
Nothing states you Must Vote or Work, nor do you have to Join the Military, I believe the word Freedom plays a big part.
Just as American's die in conflicts/battles and wars for the Right to Vote or Not Vote, the American Way, the American Dream, Freedom of /for the Life of a Person living on US Soil.
Even if every American voted, and as a Nation does not get it right, whose to blame then ?
Divide and Conquer or Rule, a way to win, which is not a position America wants to find themselves or America Divided.
We will never know if in any Presidential Election, if the running opponent that was not elected, i.e. 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2010, if Bush or Perot, Dole or Perot, Gore, Kerry, McCain, Romney, whether Republican or Democrat had won that America would of been better off.
As just in those elections 4 Presidents were Democrat and 2 were Republican. Which Party do you blame ?
...has the quality of life become any better since the Cold War 1947 to 1991, Korean War 1950-1953, , Vietnam Conflict or War 1955-1975, Post-Cold War Era 1991-2001, War on Terrorism 2001-Present
and their is the "War on Drugs", a term popularized by the media shortly after a press conference in June 1971 by President Richard Nixon when he declared drug abuse "public enemy number one."
Conflicts/Wars, are a inevitable way of life, since the beginning of time or Our Nation's beginning.
You may hear "What is the World Coming To" every time unpleasant news comes to light.
"We the People" one could say is to blame...since the US Constitution was ratified (approved) by nine states on 21 Jun 1788.
