Work Together For America

We need to, as a country, work completely together for the benefit of our next generations. That's the bottom line and I'm sick of the partisan fighting, that hurts us as a whole. i don't mind partisan bickering and arguing to prove a point or show your side but to just be critical or vote a certain way, out of partisan principle, and it hurts our country is just unacceptable. Here are some things we, as a nation, must do. And I'm not being critical of anyone in particular.
We have to have a better educational system starting now and it must be complete for all students, from day one. We must also help out our college students, a lot more and offer incentives or do what we have to do, to get more students involved in science and things we need. Our children and grandchildren, along with education, are the complete future of our country.
We have to make sure that out military is not only built up but fully equipped with anything and everything they need to fight and survive. It's unacceptable to send these guys into battle without everything they need, there is no other way to say it, it's just a must. These guys sacrifice everything for us, the least we can do is provide them with all they need.
Also, we must have a more adequate health care system for all. Health care needs to be free, for all Americans, no matter what. Medicine should also be free to all Americans, no excuses. Even more so, these military guys don't get the healthcare that they need. Even when they come back as amputees. This is sickening and totally unacceptable. I can't express how angry this makes me feel. There are no words thatcan accurately describe my feelings toward things of this nature.
While there are so many more things we need to do to run our country better, these ones are the ones that need attention now. These things must get the help from our government that they need and these things need to happen. Education, Military, and Health Care- All essential for our countrys survival and well-being and definately needed if we plan on staying as an advanced society, with all of our freedoms and stuill being heavily protected. I hope our leaders can figure this stuff out and really get a move on fixing them all.

In principle, your ideas are certainly noble. But practically speaking, not workable. If you want all health care paid for, you should join the Socialist party.

This country was built on capitalism. An honest day's pay for an honest day's work. We wouldn't be the country we are today if the government handled everything for citizens.

If a US citizen wants cheap healthcare, he needs to get an education, get a good job, and his % of salary spent on healthcare will be minimal.
