Do you think enough is being done to fix the problems?
Nobody is happy with the solutions to the healthcare crisis. But there are other serious problems that plague our country as well.

What about the lack of regulations on the big banks? Are you happy with the direction we are going with this problem?

What about the lack of jobs? Do you think we are doing enough to address this very serious problem? It is doubtful that most of these lost jobs will ever return. What should we do?

Healthcare is important. After all, if you don't have your health, not much else matters. But, in hindsight, do you think we would have been better off if we had put off healthcare reform for another day? It has been compromised to an almost unrecognizable piece of insurance company reform anyway.

Who do you hold responsible for the lack of action on all these other problems? Is it the Democratic or Republican Party apparatus, or is it the entire government breakdown in Washington? Or do we just need to cheer louder?

1. No. Nothing is being done.
Repukes are cruel obstructionists and Democrats are too wussy to push back.

6. Corporate bribery of our political system is definitely a problem...
Public financing should be at the top of the list.

7. Who, or what, counts the votes?
Most votes in the past 8 years of elections were counted by corporate owned and controlled e-voting machines.

Human eyes were not used to count votes, votes were counted by programmed computers. No honest computer expert in the world believes it is ok to let the computers control the vote counts.

Yet the dumbasses of America, who know squat about computers, are just as happy as can be to let the computers count their votes. We're doomed.
