Going To Pot

America is going to pot,
Whether we like it or not.
Our debt is too high,
The economy is dry,
And the government is full of rot.

This pretty much sums it up -- although I like to think that if you sawed off the eastern seaboard, the rest of the country could pretty much live happily ever after. lol. :) gtw

You'd have to remove the west coast, also. Thanks for your comment, Gershon!

Well done! George Washington predicted political parties would destroy this nation, as no Member of Congress is elected to represent a political party, yet they all vote their Party line rather than support the best interests of their constituents, or the USA! The end is nigh!

I never thought of that, but you are right, Rico. The politicians are elected by the people for the people not the party.Thank you for your comment!
