No Way to Run a Country
The US is a country built with the labor, sacrifice, and dedication of serous, committed working class men and women. People who get up day after day, rain or shine, hot or cold, whether they feel like it or not and do their job as best they can - paying the bills, putting a roof over their family's heads, putting food on the table, getting their children through school, and hoping to save a little against the day when they are no longer able to do all that. The current administration was elected to make life a little easier, the day a little brighter, the future a little safer, and so far all they've done is destroy the wealth and savings of hard-working Americans - and for no good purpose. This is no way to run a country.
