America has become a third world banana republic. It has a rundown infrastructure. At least 15 percent Americans live in poverty and live on food stamps. 3.3 million children suffering from abuse each year, losing five children every day due to abuse-related deaths. One out of every 6 adults and one out of 5 children are suffering from hunger. At least 7 million Americans have lost their homes and more than 101 million working age Americans do not have a job. 69 percent of the government budget is spent on either government's entitlement or on welfare programs. The number of Americans receiving government programs succeed the number of full time workers in private sector each month by 60 million. US is the number one in terms of incarcerated prisoners in the world. It is vulnerable to disasters, slow response and recoveries. The gap between rich and poor is 90:10, which means 10 percent of rich own 90 percent of the total wealth. 22 veterans commit suicide each day. You have Patriot Act, FISA, NDAA, IPAA/SOPA. Over 5,000 Arab descents in jail without trial. In 2011 alone, there are 530 Laser-Related Deaths in the United States, and police officers shot 1,146 people, killing 607 (not including the death from other ways such as beating, torturing, and others). Politicians are completely corrupted by doing legally bribery (lobbying) and inside trading. It slips down global competitiveness ranking year by year.
