Some major issues our nation has been facing includes the following:social security- the social security that people have been paying for is going to be gone soon, and they won't get it back
foster care systems- children are getting abused, foster partens are abusing the system, fostering children for the moeny and not using it to support the children
illegal immigration- expensive wall being built, many illegals coming and not knowing language, not paying taxes, methods of keeping them out is costly and inaffective, their children are u.s. citizens and when parents get deported ame. kids are seprated from parents and sent to foster care sys.
the war- expensive, not doing anything, people being killed (that was a kinda biased description, sorry)
welfare system- people abuse it, capable people on welfare who could support themselves.
mortgage crisis- people with Adjustable-Rate Mortgage are losing their homes because they can't afford their rising mortgages, market is bad, selling houses much cheaper than bought them for
education- us education is behind compared to other countries
college prices- dramatic increase in price of university, many student loans for college grads
-health care
-unemployment
-credit card debt
-worsening econemy
