The State of Our Nation???

Ok, What is the state of the Nation anyways?
Here are the top 5 problems from my view.
Hopefully others will read my blog as I try to come up with way's to help fix them.
1.We're in a war that's costing, "we the people" a FORTUNE.
2.The housing market is in the toilet, without much of a chance that things will be changing in the near future.
3.Affordable health care is nonexistant.
4.Gas is sky high.
5.Unemployment is out of control.
