One gains wisdom with age. You're too young to remember presidents and the nation before these times of nepotism and unlimited money. But here is the scary part that you should really think about: out of 320 million people in thIs great country of ours, the only choices you had were Hilary and "The Donald". That should scare the living shit out of you. We are experiencing the greatest lack of leadership that our country has ever known. All over ideology. We as a people no longer run the government. They run us. Think about that. What new opportunities have you been given? Money for education? A new home? Your future children's coverage for illness? Congress has healthcare and a pension for life. Where's yours? Political slogans won't pay your bills.

@Livingwell: See, there's your problem. You define leadership as someone giving you opportunities, education, a home, and healthcare.

@Livingwell: I already have money for education. using a program that ga has had since the 90s called ga hope scholarship. I will get a new home when I have the money to pay for a new home. thanks to Obama my husband pays 500 a month for coverage for 3 of us. I will have a pension when I have a job that will save a pension. I don't feel the government owes me anything. and if our country keeps going he way it is going were going to be in another civil war

@Sicarium: typical liberal government owes me everything right?

@Livingwell: The Governments place is not to give you things. Their main responsibility is providing the freedom to let us get all those things on our own.

@Sicarium: Actually, I don't. I'm not a democrat or Republican. I can think for myself. You couldn't understand what I wrote, could you? Educated? I earned it all on my own. Starting from the very bottom. I pay more in taxes than most people make. I paid for my education by working at the same time. I pay for my healthcare. I pay for my home. My kids education. What I'm asking is how did congress earn it? Why are they "entitled"? Why are you and I paying for their $174000 salary, retirement, lifetime healthcare? Where is your $200k/yr job? Oh yeah, Trump created 70'new coal jobs. Career opportunities? Love to hear your rehetoric now. You don't even know you're being screwed.

@Livingwell: I don't care what party you're registered, or claim to be registered. Nor do I care how much you need undeserved arrogance to assuage your ego. What you wrote was plain enough. You want handouts, you want someone in Washington to hold your hand and make your life comfortable. I don't. It's as simple as that.
