Where are we headed?

Good question. How do we really know in what direction this country is headed? We are obviously in financial trouble, much of our country and its natural treasures are owned by countries from abroad. That can't be a good thing.  Do we really know how much of our country is not ours anymore?

I get the feeling, at times, that many of the citizens that inhabit this country, have a veil over their heads, and are like the animal who keeps its head buried in the sand. They shut their eyes to what is going on around them and just let the world go by. Everything will be alright with the eyes shut, you can't see what is going on around you.

I always think back to Germany in the 30's and 40's. The populace just kept their eyes closed to what was going on around them. When they opened them, it was too late, their country was gone. Are we in a situation like that?

We are living in a country where we have a homeless problem, economic problems of  gigantic proportions, our children are getting a second rate education, thousands, maybe millions, go to bed hungry each night,  people by the millions are out of work, losing their homes, yet, 6 billion dollars is being spent, by candidates, who are seeking offices that pay a fraction of that amount. Anyone, with any intelligence, has to question the rational of that.

If history repeats itself, and it does, we are heading for disaster.If we stay on the course we are on, our days are numbered, historically, that can be proven.
