We have elected some real losers, but we have also elected a lot of good people who got things done.  We elected people of courage who actually cared about the country, and not about lining their own pockets. We had the chance to stop the jobs from going overseas, but we didn't because we wanted cheap goods  - face it, our generation was about quantity, not quality.  We have  allowed our politicians to spend money our country didn't have and we allowed them to lie to us about every war since WWII.  Some where along the line, we stopped holding our politicians accountable and got tangled up in political correctness and everyone's rights. 

Younger people liked Bernie because he described a utopian future, much like we did when we were young.  But the thing is that young people are just that - young and they haven't lived long enough to understand that there are certain realities that have to be faced.  Every time I heard Bernie throw out another idea, I found myself asking "who will pay for it"?
