When I step back and look at all the problems we're having, it can really be traced to the fact that many Americans look to the government to provide for them -- for everything -- their schooling, their healthcare, their retirement, etc.

You've got all these seniors, most of whom have been so conditioned to look to social security and Medicaid to save them -- I have to ask -- what did they do all their lives to arrive at old age so broke that they need the government to take care of their every need? I realize things do cost more, but really, we've all got to know that inflation continues and we need to prepare for it by saving. Many of them HAD to have had equity in their homes -- much more than we do now at this point.

And now we have illegals demanding that they receive all this assistance.

What we need is a president who will STOP this entitlement mentality in every single sector -- from education, to healthcare, to retirement to home ownership. I'm not even sure a President can stop it ... Americans, and all who come here need to know that if you want it, you're going to WORK for it. Same goes for ALL Americans.

We have become a country of helpless idiots -- no one wants to work, everyone wants loads of credit and material goods, without having to work for them. And everyone wants also to continue their bad habits of spending, mistreating their bodies, their families, getting divorces, et,c etc. Our lifestyles just COST so much.

I have seen this with many young people I know as well. All of them want the world for nothing.

And I think now most Americans are into this entitlement thinking, so the Democratic promises sound GREAT. Everyone feels the "super rich" can pay for them, and that everyone will have everything they want and need, without having to work for it.

Oh well -- sorry to rant, but I've never expected anything from anybody. I don't think for one minute I will be able to live on any social security I've got coming to me ...I just think about what Job I can get and how it will sustain me. I think about owning a home, so I'll have a place to live .. and working for it. I don't TAKE -- I work.

It seems you have the Americans who WORK, and then those who TAKE.

We've got to get more workers, and less takers. Not a small minority working and earning, and an increasing minority who takes.
