America faces many challenges, the national debt is a real concern, but I'm optimistic. Overall the economy is healing, renewable energy sources make up an ever larger percentage of our energy production, citizens are becoming less interested in gun use, seeing the government step in to halt the collapse of the banking system in 2008 and 2009 have made citizens feel the governments is their partner and not their enemy, people are seeing there are alternative solutions to petty dictators besides sending in the marines to invade other countries. America is becoming more like...Europe. I consider this, a good thing. 😀
