He is distoring America that is his HIDDING agenda.
You can go to any other country and you will find out that there is no other place like AMERICA.
I AM LEANING TO THE RIGHT.
Government has, for generations, been fighting the battle of poverty, sickness, hunger, etc. And, they have failed. Just listen to any vet tell you how poor the service is at their local VA hospital. My dad would have nothing to do with the VA. Government takes care of hunger by passing out food stamps that only get traded and sold for drug money and cigarettes. Public education today is a joke because incompetent bureaucrats run the show and protect incompetent educators. Why do the best and brightest students choose private universities over state schools? Because there is accountability and quality in those private educations.
My Dad was a WWII vet and the Veterans' Hospital took very, very good care of him in his last days. We were all very grateful and appreciative for the care he received.
There are always some people who abuse the system by trading their food stamps for drugs but not all people do that. Some people really need the help and they use their stamps for food.
I agree with you about public education at least in the primary and high school levels. We should be doing much better in educating our children. But I don't think it's as simple as blaming bureaucrats and teachers. The children are undisciplined, not ready to learn when they get to school, dressed inappropriately, there's way to much attention paid to sports and extra curricular activities, school starts too early and should go later in the afternoon. I have more but for now that's enough.
Both of my children graduated from State Universities in MA. Both are gainfully employed, supporting themselves and living on their own. AND they are both good, caring people and I'm very proud of them. I would recommend our state colleges/universities to anyone.
No government is perfect and most are much less than perfect. But I wouldn't choose to live under any other government in the world.
The VA provides superb benefits when you have NO other choices available, and therefore, nothing to gauge them against. For every good experience I've seen, there are 10 negatives. My father and six of his brothers all served in the military. Not one of them used or will use VA services for their health care. My uncle is retired Air Force and refuses to even consider VA health services.
So, you are willing to blame the parents for the failings of an education system our children spend 12+ years of their lives in? I completely disagree. Our school systems have become a safe haven for incompetent educators, protected by union contracts.
You are slowly going to be living under another government if the nanny state mentality continues....
