Chins Up America

 It has been written that the world will end “not with a bang but a whimper”. I agree that if the world ends it will be with a whimper. But the world does not have to end. It seems that way from my perspective in the United States today that our world is ending in essence. Our society has just become more and more polluted from within. We are moving apart not together. But that has not always been the way it is in the United States. Before Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected we were in a similar situation of  dysfunction and pain. But President Roosevelt put in place an economic structure that worked to build wealth and strength and security in the American economy for all people. All boats were floated, even those still held back by racism and sexism. That economic system put in place by FDR's Administration lasted through his 3 1/2 terms through Vice President Truman's own term through the presidency of Dwight Eisenhower and through John F Kennedy's administration and Lyndon Baines Johnson's presidency and that system that FDR put in place was not ended until Ronald Reagan did that. 

I would just like all Americans to look at the history of our country since FDR was elected and what was going on before he was elected all the way through Dwight Eisenhower's presidency and I think you will see that America did our best during that period of time in our entire history. Since then I think things have simply degraded and gotten worse. So I just hope and pray that if we change direction in this election we can go back towards what we had before to an economic system that worked for us.
