True for past decade and past score of years progressively. We have forgotten what happiness is. We have become socially inept. All out for ourselves individually.

Lida Vitt

When a can of green beans has jumped fron under a $1 to over $3 in less than 3 years, the price of a new garage door has almost tripled in in less than 3 years, absolutely!! This has happened with everything!!

I believe more angry, would be a better question. Confidence in our government is at a historic low.

Happiness is folly. Get hard. Raise your own food. Have a huge family and you'll find eternal joy.

The current administration of Iran has proven to be unreliable and is not trustworthy.

Max

Iran has plenty of oil for energy generation.

Max

That has been going on since the Prophet Muhammad found the Muslim church in 610 AD.

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Max

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.

Max

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.
