Here is a condensed list of worries:
1. Debt
2. Unwed mothers
3. shrinking of the middle class
4. 32 million can not afford the house they live in
5. Educational system is a mess. US is last in Math
6. Men not getting married and living with parents
7. Number one in illegal and legal drug abuse
8. 1/3 of the nation have STDs
9. Unchecked immigration has lead to an explosion in criminal gangs
10. Access to adult websites and no one is doing anything.
11. Complicated tax code
12. US military waste, (42 million for Viagra)
13. The US is unhappy because doctors write so many scripts for anti-depressants
14. Increase in support for gay marriage.
15. Weak economic growth that mimics the growth in 1930
16. High abortion rates.
You left off the 2.5 million we have in prison
Growing disparity between workers and the rich
Loss of the American Dream
No upward mobility
Some on your list are just silly. Nobody cares about porn, gay marriage, military getting Viagra,
The list is from the OP article, not me.
I guess I should add to the list the problem of the left wing not paying attention.
Very few will destroy our nation
Most are social issues that we have already compensated for
The biggest issue is the growing gulf between the rich and the working class. That could bring down the nation
The issue conservatives refuse to address is the impact of global warming on world economies as the food supply is jeopardized and population increases
The two problems you listed are merely talking points, so far.
Wage differential, let's say you make 1000/wk and I make 500 a week for a difference of 500/week. Let's give each of us a 10 percent raise. That means you are now making 1100 and I am making 550 for a difference of 550 dollars. So the wage gap is naturally occurring. Other then getting an education and working hard I am not sure how the gap can be lessened.
Climate change, I personally have not seen anything detrimental. I am not convinced that a few degrees rise will be all that bad for the world. Places that can't grow food will be replaced by ones that can. Maybe it will even not snow in Canada in June.
