Is our country on the right track?

Question

Is our country on the right track?

Answer 1

Every country is on the right track except that the politicians are deviating from it.

Answer 2

We have our own set of tracks, and we are on it.  My concern is that there are some of us who think that ours should be more like everyone else's.

We are different from the rest of the world, and to try to make us more like them is to destroy what made us great in the first place.

If the rest of the world was a shining beacon of evolution, then there might be some advantage to being like them, but from my perspective, they are not.  Mostly, they want to be like us.

So, are we on the right track, I don't know, but I'm willing to go with it, because the rest of the world isn't, and following their lead isn't an option for me.

Answer 3

Heck man, no way, but just because I live in the country doesn't make it my country.  If I could have my way, and I guess I do

sort of, I'd be my own country which would be the world and my kingdom would be just where I lay my head down at night.  Oops! Just re-read the ? Still say no though. Sometimes things have to run their course. Kinda like a disease, many of them start w/ upset stomach and pain in various parts of the body.

The doctor can only prescribe medication and a cure once

he/she has seen all the symptoms. Our current track has both positive and negative characteristics.  Only God really knows where its all heading. You know we humans, American's some of us, can be pretty bone headed. I'd say we are on many tracks but the main track is off track. Look at the insurance scam and our current lack of medical care for 1 out of 7 Americans. Is profit more important than dying people?

Is going into a foreign country w/ guns and heavy artillery really the best way to keep the peace? Thats just my opinion.

Maybe we are on the right track. We are on a track but judging its quality is beyond me. What in your estimation is the definition of "right track'?

no we are not on the right track, we are on the same track as the Roman empire before it fell.

Answer 7

Yes, its just that we dont have a good leader who will serve an honest intention!

subject--ex. economics--(no)

the war--(in some ways, maybe)

illegal immigration--(no)

modernization--(yes)

freedom of religion--(yes)

Answer 9

no.

A track has a left and a right rail, otherwise a country would tilt and turn onto its side.

Our country derailed a long time ago.

.

Answer 10

It depends on for who's purpose these tracks lead. Not mine I say. Where mans evil rides no good comes the traveler.

Answer 11

i dont think so.

Answer 12

No. And it hasn't been for as long as I have been alive. I'm 41. I say put Robin Williams in there as Mrs. Doubtfire.

Answer 13

no there is a socialist movement in this country. Socialism is not compatable with capitalism. "Congress shall gaurentee each state have a republican form of government" no room for socialism here.

Answer 14

With lawmakers set to return to Capitol Hill in January, it is critical that the 110th Congress take long overdue action to bring U.S. immigration policy in line with our national interests. The following legislative agenda for the 110th Congress lays out the critical reforms to federal immigration laws and enforcement capabilities needed to redirect U.S. immigration policy and get it back on track.

1.   Cut the Numbers. The United States currently admits over one million legal permanent residents every year. This is equivalent to annually adding a city the size of Dallas, straining our communities, health care, education, and overall infrastructure. In fact, the Associated Press recently reported that New York City planners currently project the city's population growth will lead to an all-day rush hour by the year 2030. This level of immigration is unprecedented and unsustainable—a conclusion also reached by the bipartisan Jordan Commission in 1995. The growth in the number of legal immigrants is mainly the result of ever-expanding family-based preference system. It is further compounded by the increase in employer-based visas lobbied for by big business as they seek to import cheap foreign labor and increase profits. FAIR believes that a sustainable level of immigration is approximately 300,000 annually. To cut the numbers while allowing for the maintenance of nuclear families, FAIR advocates the following measures:

Take an immigration time-out of most immigration to relieve pressure on the system, eliminate backlogs, and start setting an enforceable annual cap.

Eliminate family preferences for adult siblings and adult sons and daughters

Eliminate the visa lottery

Repeal INA § 245(i)

Eliminate birthright citizenship legislatively

Reform temporary protected status, asylum and refugee laws to limit abuse
