He's a Politician...

Well he wasn't one, but he is learning fast how to become one!!

He actually still isn't one.

I used to think Johnson might have a future in politics before he joined the Libertarians. They forced him to adopt their platform so now he says some far out shit that I know he doesn't really believe.

Quite a collection of ignorance and racism here...

^^I wonder what's 'not working' in this country? Which country achieves a higher standard of living where we want to aspire to that political and economic system. "InmyNC", which country is your model that does it better than us? All I hear is complaining about this country, but the standard of living is pretty fucking high, comparative to the rest of the world and certainly in historical context.

Reminds me of Trump supporters

You are right this country has a good standard of living. Better then most. But there are many kinks that need to be worked out. For example, the health care system. The affordable care act has made many not so financially stable folks able to get coverage, but many middle class citizens still pay very high premiums. In my case the premiums have exceeded my mortgage payment yet I have no claims other then a standard physical. This affordable care act is great for many but caused increases to others. This act had some good in it but I feel it never really attacked the source of the cost. I'm not against the ACA, but I think some tweeking is in order. Another issue I see is education. Since the birth of the dept. Of education during the Carter administration tuitions in some cases have risen 300%. This has made college education a burden to many with years of debt. These are just two issues that our recent past and present politicians fail to take action upon.

I often wonder this myself when I hear people claiming the America is losing, in trouble, and is falling apart.

That's standard politics though...when an election is coming up the other side can't win by saying everything is "pretty good." They have to light fires under everyone and convince them that things could be better. When the unemployment rate is good, inflation is low, etc. they move to "America is weak"....we need to bomb people, ISIS is coming to get you, etc.

I don't feel Americas is loosing. I feel that politicians should consistently strive to.improve on ( foreign relations, debt, health care, infrastructure, ect.) America is great because of this but I feel too many politicians are just warming desk chairs. They don't work together. But instead stay behind party lines. The left wing and the right wing come from the same bird.
