I started the post for this reason. I am trying to be open and learn something. DWCAP, you make a lot of very good points, but I also think times are changing. In traveling over seas a lot, I’ve noticed a drastic change. We’re not the center anymore and the things we are good at, as you mentioned, we’re slowly losing. China’s is starting to develop amazing Military technologies, and so is Russia, for example. Our schools are not the best, but they are still really good.

Our drug programs are designed to treat, not cure. Other nations are starting to develop medical industries the cure, not treat. If other countries cure, the companies that we own here that treat, will go out of business or ask for a bailout.

There are so many things fundamentally wrong with our economy and our mind set as a nation. We need to change. We need to let go of some of the things we think are “lame” like riding public transit, and start looking at them as a practical solution to some of the shortcomings this country has.

Anyhow, it’s just my thought. But the one thing America is great at is changing. If we can change fast enough, we’ll again lead the world and not just with bombs and BS.

There is too much over generalization here. Some Govt jobs have great benifits, but poor pay and no opportunity to move up. Others have poor to medium benifits with low pay and no room to move up..

the DMV is a perfect example of how govt shouldn’t be ran, but the DMV is needed. Caltrans is another perfect example of pure waste, billions put into stupid short sighted freeway expansions.

IF you don’t like pot holes, then pay more taxesand fix them. If don’t like crime, pay more taxes and buy more police. If you like parks, pay taxes and build more. That’s how you pay for thigs. taxes.. It’s an investment in our quality of life. The problem is what we the voters vote to tax for gets put into other pots and spent on bullshit like homeless shelters for crack heads and welfare for drunks. Or welfare for a woman that has 5 kids and sends her husband to homedepot everyday to collect $200 a day tax free, who then sends her kids to our schools tax free, who then send money back to her family in another country.

The USA is broken and there is no way out of this mess. Where is a good place to live? New Zealand?
