Problems in America today include: 1) an aging population and the affects that this will have on the job market, healthcare, and social security; 2), balancing between the citizens right to privacy and the governments responsibility to protect us from terrorism; 3), perpetual deficits over the past two decades that have resulted in a national debt of over $9 trillion today, which is 65% of GDP and expected to reach 350% of GDP by 2050; 4), the increasing income gap between the poor and the wealth; 5), increasing number of those uninsured and under-insured; 6), global warming and our governments lack of preparedness for it; 7), the utter failure of our penal system to rehabilitate criminals; 8) the country's dependence on oil, especially from abroad; 9) the reality that most of our national debt is owed to China, Japan and the Middle East; and 10) the devaluation of the dollar compared to other currencies.
