Sounds like the worst country to me after all the horrible things you listed. What you doing about that ? Run back to constitution and buy more ammunition ? Or ie business as usual.I agree with you on most of what you said....but you are still brainwashed to vote and think against your own interest. I've told you, i've lived here 20 years and have family , friends all over the world, and i ttravel a ton...other countries told you.....but you still stand by you close minded idea that we don't deserve a universal health care system, free education and so forth.The US spends more per capita on primary education than any other country in the world. What more do you want from us? A terrible disease hit our country years ago, it was called liberalism.
The movement dictated that men were only sperm donors. Women can do just fine raising children without a father. Who needs them around? While the movement weakened, the message didn't. In some black communities today(where education and crime are a real problem) the out of wedlock birth rate is in the 90% range. Women find themselves helpless against the aggression of growing children, particularly males when they near or hit their teen years.
I see it all the time where I live; kids out well past dark on a school night, sometimes as late as 11:00 at night. A former neighbor of mine had a basketball hoop setup in his yard. The kids came over after school, and didn't leave until I yelled at them to cut it out for the night which was past 10:00. This was every day and night weather providing.
So why were these children not home doing homework, getting to bed early so they can have a productive school day? Where are the parent(s) of all these kids in the yard?
If the parent is too tired to raise their children because of their job, then the best education in the world isn't going to help them. Education doesn't start when that kid jumps on the yellow bus, and ends when he or she jumps off that bus. Parents must be very involved for education to work. So don't blame the government, blame the individuals.
Why we score poorly on life expectancy, and disaese amonst mostly developed countries? why have millions uninsured if we are the greatest country in the world?
But now i'm sure you will hail trump for sending those checks and bailing the whole capitalism, because you just follow no matter what and clap.
Again, what our federal government is supposed to provide the people is in the US Constitution. Healthcare and college is not in there. Correct, I do not vote for my best self-interest. I vote for what's best for the country overall. Much of the reason we do have problems is because people did vote for themselves instead of the country.
Life expectancy is not really related to healthcare so much. After all, most of the people who die naturally are on Medicare.
We don't give a shit about the constitution when it comes to endless bogus illegal wars.
Life expectancy is not really related to healthcare so much?
Is there a correlation between Life Expectancy and Universal Healthcare
Not when you consider all the factors that create the life expectancy figure. We have a lot of younger people die in this country, and not because of healthcare. Nearly 100,000 Americans a year die from drug overdoses. Almost another 40 thousand in vehicle deaths. Then there is all the violence and death related to gangs that sell those drugs. We are the fattest country in the world, and many of our people do not get enough exercise. To get the education for a career, those women generally start a family much later in life. The longer you wait for child birth, the more likely you will lose the baby, or it will have serious birth defects causing it's death. Just so many other factors besides healthcare.
It's part of living in a free society. Don't get me wrong, every society has it's problems, but not every society is as diverse as ours, and some groups of people are more problems than other groups of people.
What do we do about it? Try to improve our border problem, since most of the heroin in this country comes from Mexico. Try to defeat liberalism, which is a daunting task. However there is only so much anybody can do about these problems. We can't have a law that states women can only have children up to the age of 27.
