How would you Turn around America?

Question

America isn't working the way it should. Homes are being foreclosed on at alarming rates…families are surviving without health care…people are being forced to decide between gasoline and groceries…men and women are working harder for lower wages…we are on the brink of economic peril.

tell your personal story. What are you experiencing? What about your family? Your friends? Your neighbors? What is impacting your community? Your school? What’s your vision of America? And, as important, how would you turn things around?

Answer 1

I don't think it's quite that bad. I think it's that too many people think they have to have these huge nice houses when a smaller one would do, buy big inefficient cars that get 15 miles to the gallon when they don't race them, they don't go off road with their trucks, they don't need them to do those things. They just don't think about what's really important, as a result when push comes to shove, it's a reality check. People have always survived without health care. What happened when there was none before? I think people are going to start thinking about moving closer to their jobs and forming "closer" communities.

Answer 2

We can't exist without difference, but if at all possible, I would-

Eliminate the "bad" versus "good" illusion of difference.  

Reduce stereotyped views of certain groups.

Encourage people to talk to people who are different from them, starting at an early age.

Encourage a cross-cultural understanding of the world, and how culture influences our behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs.

Answer 3

This is all it would take, within 20 years we would be a completely different nation....

1. End child abuse. Our primary focus as a society would be the well-being of all children. Sexual Abuse would be an immediate death penalty. Physical abuse would be a 5 year probation for first offense, in house video monitoring for as long as that child/children live under that roof for a second offense, and 20 years in prison for a 3rd time offense. Neglect would result in a permanent in house monitoring system and a ban on all alcohol/drug use by the parent for a 5 year period. CHILD ABUSE IS THE ROOT OF 90% of all CRIME and DRUG ABUSE in this country.

2. Much tougher to enforce, but it would be the END of unwanted children, who in result become the criminals and drug abusers of society. Forced birth control for everyone under the age of 18 and free child birth for everyone in society. No longer will people 'accidently' have children. There are so many unplanned pregnancies in this country it is frightening. This HAS TO STOP!!! Our world simply cannot take it any longer. Our COUNTRY cannot take it any longer. Children with no education or means of supporting themselves spit out  babies like they are Pez!! With a forced birth control system and an encouraged planned pregnancy system we would cut the birth rate in America by 75% within 2 years. NO MORE welfare babies. NO MORE children growing up without a father.

I fully understand that millions, quite possibly billions of children are born to single parents that end up excelling in today’s world. But IF you offered those same parents the chance to establish themselves BEFORE they had a child, more than half would have taken that chance. The time for preaching abstinence has come and gone, we are nearing a crisis level in this world. How many of those in our prison system grew up with no father? drug addicted parent or parents? unwanted? unloved? THIS IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF SOCIETYS PROBLEM!!!!! We need to fix this, and it needs to happen very soon.
