Almost if not ALL of today's problems have been caused by the Federal Government.
1) Outlawing prayer and Bible reading in schools. Sometimes this was the only place kids got any biblical information.
2) Creation of the Welfare state by LBJ. In 1960 13% of people were under the poverty line. After $4 TRILLION in welfare and food stamp money, we now have over $14% under the poverty line.
3) Unregulated immigration has brought disease that America eliminated by the 1960's. In Alabama alone 92 people died last year from TB, most were illegal immigrants who brought it across the border. A lot of them work in chicken processing plants, so be careful eating chicken.
4) There are illegal Hatians in Sylacauga, Boaz, Albertville, Haleyville, and Culman. They are overwhelming these small towns. They don't have French-Creole interpreters, etc. Springville, Ohio has a population of around 60,000 with 20,000 Hatian immigrants. Their pets as well as ducks and geese are mission. The Hatians were flown here by our current government.
5) The Welfare system rewards single mothers with food stamps, welfare, and section 8 housing. If she gets married, her husbands income is included in the family income and most of the time and they loose the freebees. Today around 55-60% of children are with a single parent. Thus women will vote democrat, not because of abortion, but because of freebees. I know of a white couple with 2 kids. They got a divorce. He uses his parents address as his address. He still lives with her however. She now gets welfare, food stamps, and "child support" (30% is maximum a parent has to pay in Alabama). Now he has a bass boat and a new truck. They still live in a mobile home to qualify for the freebees. So it is not all blacks that have been doing this, but also poor and low middle class whites also.
6) Government has been pushing kids to go to college so around 20-25% go to college and get government loans to do so. Many really couldn't make it in college without getting an easy useless degree. Now they are stuck with student loans they can't pay back because half of all college grads can't get jobs in their field and have to take lesser jobs. This is stupid. Germany only takes the top 10% for college, over 50-60% get trade degrees and get good jobs. Trade skills are not pushed in high school, yet we need auto mechanics, plumbers, electricians, heat and air conditioning people, welders-especially high stress pipe welders, power company linemen, brick masons, carpenters etc.
7) The Free Trade Agreements of the 1990's, just as Ross Perot said, stripped the textile and shoe manufacturing out of the US. In the south all you needed was an 8th grade education to work in a textile mill and you were lower middle class. Now we have permanent welfare people. As FDR said in the 1930's he didn't want to give out welfare money because he said Americans would loose the work ethic, but instead created jobs programs, such as reforestation, rural power line installations, hydro dams, roads and bridges to create jobs for men out of work. Now people don't want to work if they still suck on the government teat.
Opening the door for China in 1998 created a powerful Fascist state with one party rule and free enterprise jobs, instead of leaving it as a backward soviet style socialist state that could never catch up with the west.
9) The government creates inflation by spending more money than it takes it and just printing more or electronically putting out more worthless money.
10) Government has gotten us into many useless endless wars since Korea, like Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, continuing to provide weapons and ammo for Ukraine instead of trying to get a peace treaty of some sort. Unfreezing Iran's assets and giving them money back, that they promptly used to get rockets to the Palestinians, Hezbollah, and others stirring up trouble.
As you can see, Government has caused all these problems. Democrats are worse, but some Republicans went along with some of this also. This is not counting over-regulating everything that it is hard for small business to operate and expand.
