We have now have seen how we have begun to accept and to a degree expect being lied to by our government. We don’t care that the people who are deciding what steps to take in solving our economic crisis don’t even pay their own taxes. These same people are happy to increase our tax burden. We are saddling our children and grandchildren with unimaginable debt to pay and we are not even interested to see what we are getting for it. Our social problems and education problems have become the same as the other country we mentioned in social problems and education in America 1.

Steps to solving our social problems and education problems:

1. Take responsibility for your economic situation
2. Talk to your kids that it is not ok when politicians cheat
3. Spend more time teaching your kids your values
4. Be honest and admit when you don’t know something
5. If you don’t know something important in your life, learn it
6. Show your kids you are willing to learn
7. Get involved with your local politics
8. Be a better person today than you were yesterday
9. Be an example to others
10. Live your life like you have to earn the right to be an American

Social problems and education problems begin in the home. A great country is made up of great cities and towns. Great cities and towns are made up of great families. Great families are made up of great parents, who lead their family with integrity, ethics and morals. Great families don’t blame others for their troubles. They gather together and work together to solve their problems. They don’t cheat to get out of their problems and don’t accept others who cheat to get out theirs. They only vote for people who hold up to those standards.

We, as Americans don’t always have to agree, but we do have to be dignified.
