What is wrong with America today?

What is wrong with America today? I think it is US!!!

We can all sit back and complain about what they are doing in Washington, the President is horrible and hasn't done anything to help us all the while running up the deficit and blaming it on someone else.  The Senate has changed the rules and won't pass any legislation that comes out of the House.  the House is spending all their time trying to pass laws that they know the Senate won't even take up for a vote.  The problem is all of this, but who is to blame for it? WE ARE!!!!

It is us Americans who keep electing these idiots.  Yes there are a handful of them who are there to try and fix it and do the right thing, however a majority of them are life long politicians who are there to make sure that their money train and power trip continues no matter what the cost is to the American People.

We have to get over the Republic vs Democrat vs Tea Party mentality.  If we continue to let them divide us based on party we are headed down a road that does not have a good outcome for any of us.  We have to start taking each issue on it's merits.  Doesn't matter if it is a Democratic, Republican or Tea Party issue. What does the issue mean to me and my family? How will it affect me positively or negatively? Then make my decision and let my voice be heard.  Right now we agree with whatever the party we like tells us.  We don't have to agree with everything they do. Start being independent thinkers. Start voices your opinions.

Listen to both sides of the argument. Too many people will only listen to one side of the argument and base their opinion on that side.  You have to hear both sides arguments with an open mind and then make your decision.  You can't just listen to CNN or MSNBC and make your decision, you can't just listen to FOX News and make your decision.  You have to take a culmination of all the information from both sides and formulate your decision.  I know, that is a lot of work for some of us.  And that is the problem with America today.
