What we as Americans need to do for our future!

I have been looking at grim forecasts about America.

1. Our Medical Care is terrible.

2. Our Education System is not up to the rest of the world.

3. Our economy is failing

4. Illegal immigration is rampant

5. Our airlines are struggling

6. Our roads are deteriorating

7. Our Nation is tired and old.

To each of these I will answer what every American I believes either thinks or deep down fells.

1. We need subsidized medical care that everyone can afford. Children should have medical care no matter what. We need to promote educating doctors and nurses to get rid of the shortfall that is 11% in some places of nurses and doctors.

2. We need a path that starts our around 14 years old 3 ways to go.
A. Path to college by taking college level classes as early as 15
B. Path to a technical school that prepares one for a technical degree.
C. Path to On the Job training for a more labor intensive job.
We need to subsidize college and make it more affordable for all students and base education on merit not wealth. We need to improve the way we teach our youth by incorporating, second languages, geography and other subjects at a much younger age to make kids more competitive in a global market.

3. We as Americans are facing tough competition from abroad. We need to educate mathematicians, scientists, doctors and not emphasise money type degrees such as lawyers and business admin. We need to be more competitive cut costs and live in our means no easy lending save for the future and be ready for outsourcing, off shoring and a global market place that all countries are bidding to be the top dog.

4. We need to make it easier for illegal immigrants to be citizens and make the path to citizenship easier for professionals we need. On the other hand we need to stop illegal immigration from lowering wages in professions and give big business ways to make more money and pay less.

5. As Americans we need to have airlines held accountable for delays for lost luggage we need to improve airport infrastructure and become less of a militaristic nation have less security that does not work because we are loosing tourism due to the requirements to even visit the United States.

6. Roads are roads America needs to have a better mass transit system for rural areas allowing us to relied less on cars and give our roads a break. We have grown more dependent on oil in the last ten years by 21% while Europe has grown 7% less dependent due to mass transit and government practices.

7. We are not tired and old but we need to stand up voice our opinion and make our nation work.

Welcome back.

It is indeed grim looking at the situation in the US now.

As an outsider, we look to the US and see a tough time ahead for the superpower... not sure how reality is on the inside.

Not sure how it will affect the global economy either.

Somehow or rather, American Idol seems to show the US people are alive and living well with over 50 million votes and all.

Consumer spending is still good.

Idol gives back is a great contribution to the locals who really need help and extending it to Africa too.

I was shocked to watch "The pursuit of happiness" acted by Will Smith to find hundreds of homeless people that are not able to cope with the system... it is indeed a big country to manage.
