Have you been outside the US?
If so, you know how good we have it here.

 

Referring to illegal aliens and immigrants from shithole countries ?

 

We certainly do 'suck' - badly - compared to what this country was like 35 or 40 years ago. Those years with Ronald Reagan as our president were GOLDEN. We wiped out inflation, we had good jobs with great futures, we literally ran the Soviet Union OUT OF EXISTENCE, and we had very few people on welfare of any kind. Hell, even popular music was orders of magnitude better!

Compare THAT with what you see all around you in the United States today.... the whole country is rapidly becoming a big 'homeless camp'....

"Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

 

Certain sections of the country are in despair but they brought it on themselves with all that compassionate B.S. they convinced others to support. Trouble is, they wanted others to dole out the money and cure the problem. They wanted it out of their backyard and into others. As long as it disappeared from their neighborhood. Guess that has pretty much backfired. Now they have caravans of migrants that are coming to the USA and if they displace American workers or are unable to get work for themselves and their family they can join the street people. Keep those MEALS ON WHEELS rolling?

 

Does the US Suck?

No the human race sucks.

 

No place is perfect. What I would say though is besides your place of birth of which one can be biased, is a country is great or sucks depending on your degree of desire to visit and stay or move to. In all fairness, there are many countries that suck because I have no desire to move to them or even visit.

I voted yes because even if I could afford it, I still would have no desire to live in the United States. I do not like the two party system, the superiority complex of many Americans and the culture of grabbing as much in material wealth as possible with little to no regard for those left behind or the fact that resources are finite.

 

Whatever we tolerate, we will continue to get more of....

If we tolerate homeless bums pitching tents in illegal 'camps', stacking up trash piles, pissing, puking and sh*tting in our parks, streets, streams, and creeks, begging for money at nearly all large intersections, shooting-up, etc., etc., we'll get MORE OF IT!

. The present! The future! But, not our PAST in at least the past 80 years! Tolerate it, and you get more!

 

Just half does...the democratic/socialist party.

 

Yes it sucks.

Why? Because while it’s better than the worst places on the planet by far, it can be a LOT better for the common person. People in this country rest way too heavily on its history. Thinking it’s “great” because of “muh freedom,” where, by the numbers, there are numerous countries more free than us.

Simple things like healthcare, we should be able to digest, and come up with a solution. But we can’t get past partisan politics and labels. Like “socialism” and “free market,” simple and useless words used to taint the argument. Meanwhile, if you get sick, get a lawyer too, for bankruptcy, because the bills will cripple the average American.

The primary issue? Medical device companies and pharma. Where there’s 4 lobbyists PER LAWMAKER in Washington, research costs? Eg Gilead made back its entire research costs and turned profit in a MONTH from Sovaldi. Still a 5 figure bill to Americans. Titanium knee implants cost 300 to make, charges 50,000 to the patient, because they can.

A country where that amount of railing in the *** happens, sucks.

It’s possible to have a healthy corporation model, without having to maximize, at the absolute, the bottom line, at the expense of everyone. But that’s basically America. Profit margins for corporations FIRST. And around tenth, if there’s anything left over, we’ll talk about the little guy.

 

One side wants to give the state the power to control your health care and force others to pay for it; the other does not.
What sort of "solution" is possible?

No. The primary issue is the insulation of the consumer form the true cost of the goods and services he consumes.

 

Thank you! Although I'm a rock-solid fiscal Conservative, I agree 100% with your observations about Big Pharma. Moreover, I do support at least one commonsense solution that can provide Single-Payer Health Insurance! This general area of medicine and medical care is the one (ONE) sector that I can think of where we on the Right could work with the Left -- NOW! But, unfortunately, we're all mired in this 'illegal alien' morass, and until we're finally done with that, we'll accomplish NOTHING. A great pity!

The first thing we should all be screaming and raising hell about to our wonderous "representatives" is the necessity for Americans to be able to have medical prescriptions filled in foreign countries and then shipped to U. S. addresses - LEGALLY!

 

People who think eating, crapping and breeding entitles one to something,..........suck

 

The insulator isn't free?

 

Not sure what you mean...?

 

Unfortunately, you're right. Their belief is, "I exist, therefore, it's the responsibility of the government and its taxpayers to give me everything I want in life."

It is, in essence, the 'raison d'être' of the classic PARASITE....

. "Someone, PLEEZE, get these sons-of-bitches OFF of me!"

 

Unfortunately, you're making crap up.

 

The US doesn't suck but there's no reason to have a delusional superiority complex. Other highly developed countries are at least as good.

 

The Reagan years began the downfall of the USA and it has been downhill ever since.The rich have gotten rivcher and the middle class and poor have become one.The introduction of the 401K in the late 1970's brought on the cancellation of over 100,000 private company pension plans in the Reagan years,virtually guaranteeing the end of Americas middle class.CEO'sExecutives and boards of Directors took and split the money that once funded pension plans amongst themselves creating the huge disparity in salary between executives and rank and file that exist today.

 

Ah.
The Clinton years were worse than the Reagan years, and the Obama years were worse than the Bush years.
Got it.

 

Plutocracy and corruption are biggest issues in US now. Better distribution of wealth (via taxes), decent healthcare, clean water (tap water), etc.. should be way to good society, but US isn't going that direction. Corporates running over people, really low wage jobs, expensive (and stupid) healthcare, expensive education system...

Funny thing is that most of people in US think that everything is way better in US. But if you go to EU, you'll see that Germany (for example) isn't s-hole country. Germany is actually ahead of US in many areas, but I'm not saying it's perfect country (there isn't any). Here in Finland we have huge mess with developing new social-security system, government can't figure out how to do it properly. Some planned laws were against our constitution and even now, after many years, it's still a mess - so old system is in place until new is build up. Our school system need changes too, only constant developing is way to keep it competitive. We have very limited resources as small country and we're not easily wasting our money on stupid things. As finn I see easily tons of problems in our society, even when we are ranked high on some areas (like education and welfare). So it's kinda funny when immigrants talk about Finland "so beautiful, clean tap water, nice school system, etc" because they don't even see our problems and it take some time to explain all that stuff to them.

I have to admit that my point of view is very limited, because I live in Finland and most of my info is coming from media and from people who lived in US long time ago.
