Had anyone been told the truth about ACA nobody would have gotten away with voting for it.... Fortunately for it's supporters, america has ADD and is borderline HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE, what side of the border we're on is debatable. I say we are heavily on the HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE side leaning away... and maybe we did sell cleveland, detroit, youngstown, toledo, akron and several smaller towns to china for twenty five cents a pound in scrap metal..but at least we're not canada. canada has never had anything to do besides *** bout the us and how our horrible policies effect them. well boo *** hoo take away the US of A and canada is third world country sucking on seal blubber in an igloo. in the words of our ancestors... Oh Yeah!? let's see stoopid canada do something better! /waits forever YEAH THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT!!! YOU SUCK!!! canada's contribution to the rest of the world is canadian bacon, maple syrup and bitching and whining like a frozen frenchmen. go pound a block of ice surrender monkeys! The one thing you forgot. Canada is still a commonwealth of the UK. And they still pay. Limey lubber, surrender monkeys. No offense to our resident Brits, but if someone is going toe-to-toe over the cesspool that is Detroit as an indication of the state of the entire US... :/ Matching stupid for stupid.

Outliers exist. Fortunately I never encountered one.

To be fair that cop was snorting crystal meth all day before work.

We are becoming more like a heavily-armed third-world nation. But I don't think you did a great job elaborating the "how". The only thing that is shrinking is the working class. When you live in a nation where you make more money producing children than to work full time, that is when the working class starts to shrink. Plus, I don't know what you are smoking, but every American has access to quality education and medical care. To say otherwise just shows how little you know. I'm offensive and I find this very Belarus.

America's education is a wreck. It's one of the main reasons I've decided not to have kids unless I'm wealthy enough to find a private school (In other words, my blood dies with me).
Between Common Core pushing out critical thinking in favor of linear direction based task managing, to opting into the TumblrTard professional victim SJW "White people are the devil" attitude, we're better off not putting our kids in school for the next generation. Yeah, I'm homeschooling my child, have known that for awhile.
