Who is up to the challenge part 1

H1As we face perhaps the most important decision of our political lives, who is up to the challenge of righting America's ship of state? Who's solutions will actually work? Who even knows what is wrong with America today? Is it Bernie Sanders? Do we need to force income equality on our nation through more government taxation and income redistribution?  Do we have institutional racism that is oppressing minorities? Are we safer in today's world if we don't defend ourselves? Is climate change real or man made? Can the government be trusted to make college affordable and accessible  after their amazing health care reform that is neither? Is gun violence a national issue that requires more and more government rules to protect us? Are the poverty programs currently in place working and is more government the solution to the Obama villages popping up all over the country? Is taxing the rich the solution to anything other than funding the next liberal boondoggle? Do we  have a problem with racial justice in our country or do we have a problem with a society that encourages their youth to be thugs?  Is the union movement working for American manufacturing, adding jobs, making our country stronger?

I have just listed the main items that Bernie Sanders is worried about in his campaign.  After 8 years of progressive leadership in America are any of these problems solved? Are we better off today than we were 8 years ago?  Will more liberal policies and wasting our tax money and/or putting us further into debt the solution to what is wrong in America today? For me the answer is no! Not one more government program. Not one more government solution. The government is not the answer. Liberal policies have put America into our current state. More of the same would lead to more pain.
