How America Became a Third World Country

The streets are so much darker now, since money for streetlights is rarely available to municipal governments. The national parks began closing down years ago. Some are already being subdivided and sold to the highest bidder. Reports on bridges crumbling or even collapsing are commonplace. The air in city after city hangs brown and heavy (and rates of childhood asthma and other lung diseases have shot up), because funding that would allow the enforcement of clean air standards by the Environmental Protection Agency is a distant memory. Public education has been cut to the bone, making good schools a luxury and, according to the Department of Education, two of every five students won't graduate from high school.

It's 2023 — and this is America 10 years after the first across-the-board federal budget cuts known as sequestration went into effect.  They went on for a decade, making no exception for effective programs vital to America's economic health that were already underfunded, like job training and infrastructure repairs. It wasn't supposed to be this way.

If you think it isn't possible ask your self why million are preparing for it, and why the rich are moving their money and gold and silver out of the country.

What a pile of unadulterated, very stinky, crap, Bill Moyers!

If this is a third world country, two words put us here: Barack Obuma.

Five trillion in debt.. where did all the money go.

Fannie May & Freddie Mac.  Where  did all the money go, Barney?  #43 wanted to know that, too, you POS.

Trillions wasted by a total Chicago hood who has never had a job before in his lifetime.

One of Moyers sick commenter's:

"Mary W. Lukens Goodson • a day ago

Flag as inappropriateOh gawd, how depressing. Makes me wish I'd never had my child. Mass suicide seems like a good option now. Thanks TeaPublicans for ruining the world."

Sorry Mary, but... you're a nut... and you are sooooo wrong, too.  Before you jump off the nearest building, do you want to know what a true disaster looks like, Mary (besides Bill Moyers, of course).  Take a gander at this:

This is whats wrong with our country!
