The future of the country and the defense of the country are both issues that concern, or should concern, a responsible government administration. The fact that you so naively and wrongfully attack any initiative to make that future better and to prevent a scenario where the national security is crippled shows just how much you're disconnected with the workings of day to day administration and governmental work or the purpose.
The reality is that the individual is not always right and the citizenry, in america, is mostly comprised of idiots. 1/5th can't show where the USA is on the world map even though most world maps on display in the public eye cut asia in half just so the USA can be straight in the middle. A lot think creationism is real. A lot can't name the 3 branches of government. And this isn't just about one party or another, it's endemic.
And a whole lot of people don't understand what a government does. If it is 2 things the Obama administration did right is tackle obesity and promote green energy. That's the 2 things that it did right. Everything else is questionable and under scrutiny, the jury is still out...
Your comments display just how divorced you are from reality and those who are like-minded are also severely divorced from it as well. You say that you'll deal with obesity in 20 years but there is no indication that anything is going to chance. In 20 years, the problem will be worse because trends don't just shift without something happening. And republicans, especially this new idiotic wing of the republican party who is so anti government it's bordering mental retardation, is crippling the USA. I get that people want less spending but you don't get that by doing government shutdowns or wasting time trying to repeal 50 times a law that has passed and that you'll never manage to repeal. It's endemic in the political and social structure and there is no remedy except for some really tough love. And it will take either the government, a strong one which this one isn't, but a strong government with the political will to carry it through.... or a very dedicated and powerful group civic-minded people who care about society... or divine intervention. And since God, despite all the praising, isn't gonna come down from the Heavens and guide america forward and there is no such group in existence... then it'll have to be a strong political will to change the course.
This isn't to say the USA is the only country in the world which has problems. But it sure as **** is the only country in the world who still fingers itself thinking it's the best darn country ever and has no real problems it can't deal with and where the citizenry is so unstable and partisan and uninspired that they're happily digging themselves deeper. No other country has so much self-masturbatory juice running through its veines.
