Economy Woes in America

For all that’s going wrong with the economy most people blame the elected officials that are in office not the government itself. Politicians tend to look out for there own interests and no longer work for the interests of the people who voted for them and sent them to Washington. The American people want to remain optimistic but deeper levels of worry prevail on how well the country is equipped to handle the challenges America now faces.
Optimism is declining and the numbers have gradually dropped to 33 percent of people being optimistic about how our system of government works. The percentage numbers are lower than they were in 1974 when President Richard Nixon was in office during the Watergate Scandal.
Growing numbers of people think the system is not working and the economy and international conditions are unfavorable. Americans are frustrated about Washington’s seeming inability to successfully tackle many of the nations problems. We have shifted to a different level and are no longer the food basket or the industrial motor for the world. We are an overextended debtor nation and the country needs to rebound and the political system itself make a comeback so we can be the great nation we used to be.
