I am utterly shocked. I am shocked to learn that my beloved country is not 100% perfect and suffers with social ills. Thank you very much for providing me with this information.
Maybe it is time for me to consider moving to one of the more literate countries. BTW...a recent study done in California (which has the fifth largest economy on the earth) shows that they are 49th in the US as regards education. The study shows that the ever increasing immigrant population (California caucasions became the minority race several years ago)...legal and otherwise...is the primary cause for its decline in education. Hmm...foreign trash?
Or maybe it is time for me to consider moving to a country that has socialized health care. Hmm...I don't know that I want to go on a waiting list when I need medical services...as I hear some complain about that live in a country with socialized health care. Also I am not sure that I care to pay the additional taxes that countries with socialized programs have. It has been said that US citizens are the least taxed of all of the Western countries.
Or maybe it is time for me to move to Uganda...as the child poverty level is clearly not as high there as it is in the US from the information you provided. Hmm...I wonder if the people living in poverty in Uganda have housing (often subsidized even for the working poor) as is the case in the US. I wonder if they have modern appliances...such as cook stoves...refrigerators...micro waves...mixers etc. etc. as is the case in the US. I wonder if they have beds...dressers...sofas etc. etc. as they do here in the US. I wonder if they have TVs...x-boxes...other toys for their children...one or more cars etc. etc. as is the case in the US. I wonder if they have free or near free health care as those living in poverty in the US have...even the working poor. I wonder if they have subsidized food allowances...as they do here in the US...even the working poor.
Or maybe it is time for me to move to Brazil...as I have began to notice a decline in the food products available at my local supermarket.
BTW...isn't it foolish for these foreign countries to be investing in the US. If they only knew that the US is on the verge of financial collapse...they would not be doing this would they?
It is also foolish of these foreing countries to be loaning money to the US. They too would not being doing that if they knew the US is on the verge of financial collapse...now would they?
You know what...on second thought I think I will just continue to live in my beloved America...but with the shocking information you provided to me...I will be contacting my congressman on a frequently with these concerns.
Ooops...I forgot...I already do that.
I choose not to become an activist many years ago...and I continue to choose not to become an activist...but I do vote in city...county...state...and federal elections and/or referendums. I do contact my congress expressing my concerns...far more than I am sure his staff appreciates. This is the way I try to help my beloved America.
I see that you may be from Kansas. Question for you. What do you do to help America?
