I suppose my issue is that the U.S. politicians can't even FAKE caring about the American people anymore. The country has a structural deficit, somewhere around 20% un-or-underemployment, and the solutions are to cut back on health care for the poor and eliminate capital gains taxes?
There are parts of the great U.S. cities (Detroit, Baltimore, Philly) that are literally shabbier than cities in the developing world, yet America is spending billions trying to develop one of the poorest, most backwards and corrupt countries in the world.
It's as disheartening as it is infuriating.
