Why don’t you put a little sugar or something in your coffee. Your gloom and doom attitude is called defeatism. The AMERICAN way is optimism. EVERY problem has a solution and electing Trump is the best place to start.
I think there’s an element of reality in that doom and gloom. We have an extremely serious fiscal problem on our hands that is worsening by the day. Its like a ticking time bomb.
Yes, America has overcome many problems in her history and by and large we are optimists. However, the culture, social fabric, morality and work ethic have changed in very significant ways in the last couple of decades. And government has become pervasive in every aspect of our lives. We simply are not the same country we once were and that’s going to make it harder for us to overcome our problems.
I’m for Trump. He’s a fearless, results oriented guy and I think he can do positive things for the country. But the deck of cards he has to play is not a good hand.
We need political, religious and business leaders at all levels who are unafraid to tell America that we have been using up our seed corn for decades, and that it will take decades of what a great man called "blood, toil, tears, and sweat" - in a much reviled word, austerity - to get back to our former greatness.
Instead we get "leaders" who tell their followers that the solutions are easy, fast and cheap, and that someone else (who is absolutely Not Them) will be forced to pay for it all.
I am reasonably confident that no one who tells Americans the truth that they need to hear will ever be elected.
