The American dream of old is not for us Americans anymore - The real American dream today is getting this country back on track, more jobs, lower prices, less outsourcing and kill the greed.
This is not any president's fault, this is the American people, they have put themselves out of work, demands for more money, benefits, too much wanting to keep up with the Jones, too many credit cards, too much finger pointing as I am doing now.. Now we have a war between its people that if something doesn't pull us back together, we'll probably end up in a civil war again.. maybe not with guns, who knows for sure but I think that many people are ready to bring on an uprising if something isn't done soon to get things back in balance. mark these words, 'something big is going to happen soon with the american people' . I for one am tired of all the PC bullcrap, the illegals, the constant whining about what is GOOD for me, the list goes on..

Were not getting rich but were making it.

There is still a dream , It is something you make happen . If you think it falls out of the sky it will always be a dream .

It's hard to explain the whole picture. Everyone see a piece of it. Health Care in this country is a nightmare, the cost of medicine is insane. 1/4 people are hungry. The gov waste so much money on what they want, not what the country needs. When most of the world spend 6% of their budget on military, we spent 48%. Think about it, their country is the size of a state. Now think of multiplying that by 50! The crime rate is insane. When basic needs are not met, you can not produce a citizen. You produce a criminal.
This country looks out for the rich. They make fun of anyone on Welfare. Most of these people work, they just don't earn enough. These jobs have to be filled. Not everyone can be a doctor, someone has to work in the fields, be the blue collar worker, run a dish washer at a restaurant.These people have no health care. I am a diabetic, my insulin is almost $700 a month. There isn't a program to help pay for this. I have to pay it or do without. Yet I pay taxes, and help the USA be a great and powerful nation. It doesn't care if I die, go blind, or lose my legs to diabetes. My father was a retired vet, he was in WW11, Korean, and Nam. He became ill, service related. They wouldn't help him. He gave them 20 years!
American are piss off, We take care of the country, it does not take care of us. That is a big problem. What many have forgotten, they gov is suppose to serve the people, not themselves.

the american dream is unobtainable and unaffordable for about 99.9% of the population! its has always only been a dream, sold to the people by the government/media/banks/etc to keep everyone in line, kinda like a certain book that gets a mention on this site every now and then!
a massive change is needed to make things fair! I don't know what will do it and I hope it doesn't hurt to much when it happens. but change is needed desperately. ;-)
