You don't have to follow any US politics closely to know what is going on. There are two parties at war to be in control of where money is siphoned to. They are both responsible for the ginormous debt and every hilarious control war they engage in. One party says they are working for the great sky-wizard, the other one claims to be working for the people. The only interest either has is their own self interest and for those that paid to get them the glimpse of power they fumble with.

Your country is no where close to the greatness it once professed to be. Only thing to do is run out and buy another gun to prove to the rest of the world how free and great you are.
