Relax PA. Trump will fix it.
He said so.
I am very relaxed but reality tells me one man can't fix what generations of bad public policy has created. One man can't fix bad parenting, substandard schools and societal problems like drugs and broken families. Personal responsibility is the real answer but that doesn't sell well. We've been trained to think a new law or a new government program can fix everything. Solutions are seldom easy, especially if we put it on the shoulders of one man. It's your family and your neighborhood, therefore it's your responsibility.
Personal responsibility is essential to overcoming the crippling effects you cite, as the biographies of people like Michelle Obama and Ben Carson so dramatically illustrate. However, bad public policy is created by the government, not the people, and there are severe limitations on individual efforts to overcome it.

You may believe that "we've been trained to think a new law or a new government program can fix everything," still must be clear that only government can fix the problems that government has created and which government sustains. Slavery and its consequences come to mind as a rather obvious example.

I agree with but would like to add holding government accountable is also a personal responsibility. Your civic duty does not begin and end on election day. Voting and hoping for the best hasn't worked well. Most Americans are thoroughly ignorant about how most government programs operate, how much they spend and the benefits derived. An uneducated population falls prey to false promises and demagogues.

Other than her looks what did Michelle Obama over come?

Only liberals can choose not to go down the road to widespread, systematic violence.

Your hateful racism precludes attempts to instruct you on the biography of Michelle Obama. Find out what her father did for a living, where she lived and went to school, how she got her education. Post the facts you have learned and I will answer your question. I must say that I find your attitude far more disgusting than your ignorance. I generally suffer fools gladly, but anti-black bigotry just makes me mad.

Quoting limited to 5 levels deepSears has been run into the ground by an Ayn Rand groupie.I can say in almost absolute certainty that Ayn Rand does not run Sears. No such claim was made.
Ayn Rand never ran a business..period
Neither had the majority of Austrian/libertarian economist
Von Mises, Rothbard, Von Mises, Hayek, Rockwell, Hoppe...none of them ever ran a business'
They were all eggheads theorizing from the cushy bowers of academe.

Eddie Lampert used Randian principles to run Sears.
Now, Sears is heading for the crapper.
IOW they had the same resume as Obama....Gruber....Krugman ....etc.... :popcorn:

My point exactly, though I suspect the nuances will go over your head
Funny how the later understand the business cycle though.
And yet...shiffy boy said the big crash was gonna happen before the end of Obama's term
What date will he kick the can to next?
So Ayn Rand's philosophy is correct?

That reply makes no sense whatsoever.

Ayn Rand was a glorified pulp writer with pretensions of being a philostopher(sic)
You may be a conservative republican..if you are pro life until you get your mistress knocked up
