We keep hearing how America is falling apart, America is becoming extinct, Americans values are gone, and so much more. But there is a simple truth to where this country is headed....
The problem lies not with America, but with people who have something to gain, either ideologically or monetarily, and who keep voting the same people in term after term. Regardless of how they squander the taxpayers money or how corrupt they are, the idiots keep voting them in time and again.
Why? Because many people, regardless of color, are on the gravy train that never stops at a station except to collect more money and benefits. Politicians pander to those who will vote for them by promising, and giving, rewards. More welfare, forgiveness of student loans, more shelter dodges for illegals, etc. If you offered a dollar to anyone who votes for you, it would be a crime. So the politicians simply promise more "dollars" in the form of freebies and those sucking off the hind tit of society go for the politicians who give the best freebies. Thus Sanders and Clinton, whose platforms include more and more give-aways, and subservience to foreign governments. Just like the current "leader" the future will be bleak if we do not turn things around.
I am so damned sick and tired of the police being vilified because 99.99 percent do a good job and are honest, hard working men and women in a thankless job. Black Lives Matter? Sure they do, every life matters. But the same people screaming at the cops are the ones who turn a blind eye to the crime statistics of black people killing other blacks. But that does not matter to them, they won't get out and make their neighborhoods safer, they just bitch and moan and sit on their collective asses while the cops are trying to stem the rampant crime. And they complain that police are harassing them when the police are in their neighborhoods and make an arrest, no matter how righteous. Yet they want the police to be there if the crime is committed on them. Same with a minority of Latinos and others who seem to think the only time a cop should be around is when they need one to cover their butt, not to arrest illegals or criminals or gang bangers! How sad for the good people of all races.
What is really disheartening is how many great people of color there are in this world, and the small number who have nothing better to do than protest, result in much public opinion being turned against people of color in general. Factually, they have the same problem as the police; most are decent people who just want a decent life. Most work and support their families and don't have time to protest all day. But exactly what has happened to law enforcement in general has also broad brushed the black community. If you are against the activists you are called a racist. If you are against the police you are called a supporter of the activists, nothing more.
The shooter who killed police officers in Dallas was a racist, through and through. Such acts severely deepen the chasm between the races and foster hate and division. Yet some people see this act as good and praise the gunman for his vile deeds. That is patently wrong on every level. What is wrong that we simply cannot see there are bad and good in every race and broad brushing everyone is just wrong?
In my opinion, the proliferation of freebies for people on the the public dole who should be working but will not, Section 8 housing where it is not warranted, and people having multiple non-family members living in the house at taxpayers expense, mothers with multiple children from multiple fathers who walk away from their responsibilities and move on to impregnate some more women, (Black and white and every other race, color are included), scammers on the system who collect benefits they are not entitled to, and the lack of a decent justice system that actually punishes criminals, especially those repeat offenders, are major reasons we are in this mess.
Speaking of criminal acts, it is outrageous where a citizen can make an honest several hundred dollar mistake on their taxes and be hounded by the IRS and charged interest, fines, and fees, while others can owe millions of dollars and get special treatment because of who they know or are. And the same goes for claiming disability benefits when people are actually able to work a solid job, but scam the system and feign a disability while sucking off the taxpayers paychecks. And they think they are actually entitled to these benefits!! No wonder Social Security is in worse shape than ever, when money is moved to the disability fund from the Social Security Trust Fund at the expense of retirees who count on that money to survive. And, those who have to worry about their benefits being cut are the ones who actually worked and payed into the system all their working life! As a note, I am not against those who have an honest disability, just the scammers who screw us all over. And I am mad at the justice system that turns a blind eye to allow these scams to continue.
Student loans are another issue today. Why is it that if you decide to go to any school, many for way over the four years and spend the student loan money on a car, bar, vacations, dates and everything else plus your schooling, and run up a $100,000+ debt that the taxpayers should be required to pick up YOUR debt? If a citizen runs up their credit card, nobody else gets to pay the debt. Many of us actually worked our way through college, and scrimped and saved to pay the bills. We did it by hard work, those with student loans had to pay them off month by month over many years. A month on forbearance meant another months payments at the end plus more interest. Why in hell should anyone expect that their student loan be forgiven? Maybe the government will then forgive mortgages? I think not.
People who went to schools they did not fully vet before enrolling now want the government to forgive their loans because they failed to do due diligence. What? Just because some people are idiots and easily scammed by any school, especially online schools and those who advertise online, they think we should bail them out? I hope they never buy a nice car, a home or anything else of great material value because they are in for a rude awakening. Nobody is going to pay the bills for them. GROW UP and get real. You made the decision so suck it up!
Finally, the "celebrities" who are absolutely nothing make statements that the "press" publishes, as yellow journalism does. These people are not celebrities but boils on the butt of society and how can anyone even consider listening to the tripe that emanates from them? Come on. America, wake up and get real. A wanna be singer, rapper, actor, artist, You Tube maker or anything else is just that...a wanna be that means zip, zero, Nada. Everyone should aspire to greatness,but these people will never be great, just mediocre at best.

Land of the Free(bies)
Many who have served this country in the military or in positions of public service have rightfully earned benefits. Of course, sometimes they have to fight for those benefits, and the fight can be long and hard. Disabled veterans fight to have their cases handled and sometimes wait years for a determination. Sadly, some die while the bureaucrats make them go through hoops to prove the shrapnel in their back, or leg, or traumatic brain injury was a result of service to our country.
Yet, the same bureaucrats seem to have absolutely no problems giving hundreds of billions away to those who have given nothing to the country, simply existing to drain the public coffers. Generations of welfare recipients, sometimes the third and fourth generation, garnering every possible benefit known to man, sit on their collective asses while others work to provide their existence. Babies with gold earrings, baby daddies with huge gold chains, Section 8 housing for the baby mama who never worked a day in their lives., tax credits for people who never paid taxes, illegals living on taxpayers funds, And scamming the system How the hell does this happen? The government fosters this mentality and has for decades.
If you go to the root of the problem, it starts with a lack of fundamental morals and the impregnation of women by men who will never stay and support them. The government then steps in and feels a responsibility to help out so they start the welfare chain. Of course, the now baby mama has more children and the taxpayers pay for prenatal care, birthing, child care, and so much more while the baby daddy goes out and impregnates more and more women. One man boasted that he believes he has over a hundred children with many baby mamas; one woman stated she has 10 children. While the taxpayers fund Section 8 housing where the recipients pay little to nothing, the new boyfriends, soon to become baby daddies, move in. Sure that is against the rules but there are no rules it seems for these people; they just don't have rules like those who support them. And more kids end up on the way. A great number of the fathers are incarcerated as a result of their lifestyle but never pay a cent in support for all the children they have fathered.
Our government has not only allowed, but aided and abetted the abuse of this system. The liberal politicians use the freebies as a way to garner votes, because if we had elected officials with any balls to stand up and change the system, they get outvoted by those who want not only to continue the status quo, but to improve it.
A sad commentary on our society.

Giving Away America
It's no new realization, but rather one that haunts most working Americans that they are supporting more and more "no-loads" every day. Here's some examples on how the honest citizen taxpayer is getting screwed:
You work 40 hours or more a week, work overtime when you can get it for the extra money, pay your bills, pay your federal, state and local taxes, pay for medical, auto and home insurance, have a mortgage, live with your spouse and two small children in a two bedroom house. You worry about the next months rent, dental costs for the kids, and replacing the older vehicle you have as your only means of transportation. The electric bill is getting higher and you forego installing air conditioning because of the cost, using only fans to help through the sweltering summer months. You seldom eat out as the cost of doing so is prohibitive. Your vacations are time spent at home fixing up the house, gardening and keeping your property well maintained. The last decent vacation was 4 years ago, a five day trip to the beach for which you worked countless of overtime hours to pay for. Your kids want a large breed dog, but the costs of care exceeds what you can afford right now.
Meanwhile, down the street lives a family consisting of a mother and three children and two large dogs. The fathers of the children are missing or incarcerated, and pay zero toward the support of the children. They live in a 4 bedroom home, about twice the size of yours and are on welfare, as well as Section 8 housing. They pay only $200 on the $1800 dollar a month rent, have a newer vehicle in the driveway, do not work, and receive numerous other social program benefits such as SNAP, WIC, and an EBT card that they frequently use at the local fast food place. Their medical is paid through Medicaid or MediCal and the children under 18 receive free dental care as well. Having the babies was free through more give away programs and both pre-natal and post-natal care is covered. In addition, they received a new refrigerator, reduced electric rates, a free cell phone for the family and reduced rates on cable TV. Their house is air conditioned and it seems to run constantly. If they need to go to the doctor and the car is not available, they receive transportation vouchers. They carry no auto insurance, letting it expire after one payment, and you note the registration on their car has expired long ago. Two of the children are teens who also do not work, but hang out on the street all evening. Their yard is a mess but they have no interest in cleaning it up and the landlord is not pro-active in cleaning it up either.
But it doesn't end there. Need legal help? You will have to pay for it, but the No-Loads can get it for free. And, if they think the landlord is not keeping the home up to their requirements, they complain to Section 8 and that entity will withhold payment to the landlord until any and all issues are fixed. And if they keep complaining, they won't pay rent until they are evicted. Oh, wait, they know how to use the housing courts so they can stay in a home rent free until the case is adjudicated, usually in a stipulation where they are allowed to stay months rent free before the landlord has to try and get rid of them again. Damages to the house? What did I do is a familiar cry. No matter how bad they keep the place, it's never their fault.
The teens drive the family car and don't have driver licenses. Because in their minds the law does not apply to them. No insurance means if they hit you, they will likely run and say they were not driving. And you will get stuck with the bills. And what are you going to sue them for...their welfare payment? You're just screwed.
My dad always said if you don't work you don't eat. Simple enough. A 400 lb person who says they have to have disability because they can't breathe well or their legs are problems might lose some weight? I guarantee losing weight has a positive health effect on both of those issues. Sure there are some honest disabilities but why can these people go to the club and drink and dance and produce more illegitimate kids, but not work? Veterans injured in combat have more problem getting disability than the no-load who sits at home every day. That's because the administrative law judges blow these welfare cases off and it impacts your Social Security. Note how the politicians shored up disability at the cost of Social Security? Why...for votes! And those who payed into the system all their working lives have to contend with potential shortfalls in the future.
Time to wake up and smell the garbage. If you are sick and tired of this crap you need to dump the people who continuously add to the burden of the taxpayer and make your life difficult while supporting no-loads. You might not agree with all Trump's ideas but when you consider the alternatives it is scary as hell for the working people of America.
