Here is a link to the real problem in our nation, a problem which will in the end destroy America as we know it.

While Obama and the Republicans and the Democrats are battling it out for power and bragging rights, the financial 1% have been active behind the smokescreen. They have over the last 2 decades steadily increased the flow of income upwards until it has made the poor and middle class dependent upon socialistic government programs. They now have absolute power over the lives of the majority of Americans. They now control the government (both parties, all 3 branches) through the threat of financial collapse and socialistic takeover.
Republicans and Democrats alike dance to their tune. Obama is their figurehead through which they keep the public fixated on government as the source of the problem when it is truly the financial interest's greed for ever-increasing profits which is enslaving you and me and suppressing a recovery of the little people's economy. The Wall Street economy is doing just fine - in fact better than it ever has. The 1% are raking in the profits while the little guy's (you and me) economy is growing tighter and tighter. There are two economies in America - the Wall St. one has recovered (if it was ever in jeopardy) and is growing stronger while the Main Street economy we live within stagnates or grows ever weaker.
All that would have to be done for this country to recover is to limit profits to a reasonable limit (the economy under Reagan or Clinton would be a good start) and let prices to the consumer drop. When those prices drop, you and I have more money to spend and we buy more products. When we buy more products, there is greater demand and companies hire more workers to produce more product. The increased jobs add more money to the workingman's economy and America enters a spiral up to prosperity for the little guy, and the companies also thrive because, even though profits have a cap, they are producing and selling more product and thus have more money as well.
But when the little guy has money to spend and buy with, he is not dependent on government anymore and not under control. He is free. And that is not what the Illuminati or Bilderbergers want. Their stated purpose when founded was to control governments through financial dependency and, through government, control the citizens and the world. And get this - they do not care that they are bankrupting America and turning it socialist - they are International in scope and their purpose is to control world government through finances. America is just a source of upward money flow and profit to them. They will allow the little guy just enough to stay alive and pay all the taxes and fees and charges which flow into their coffers. The middle class and poor are simply a machine to them - slaves maintained for their profit.
Republicans would have us give tax breaks to big business and stop government spending - ostensibly to recover the economy. Whose economy? Until money trickles down for the little guy to buy more product that only adds to the flow upward. They would limit all social programs, calling them "entitlements" which suck money from the economy. Again, whose economy? And the last time I looked at my paycheck, those deductions which went for unemployment, social security, and medicare were money that was supposedly to purchase insurance. Those entitlement programs are programs we and our employers paid into as part of our employment package - why should they be taken from us or reduced in the value we paid in in order to provide an even greater money flow upward? Limit profits and return greater spending power to the little guy - then when he has more money they wont be as necessary and can be reduced.
Democrats, in turn, seize upon the squeeze on the middle class and poor and offer socialistic programs which appear to be the answer to the little guy. It is classic pie-in-the-sky and designed to keep themselves in power. The average citizen suffering under loss of jobs, loss of income, loss of savings and retirement, etc. looks to these as the answer and never sees that this is the path to dependency upon government and more financial slavery.
Both parties feed off the other for their agenda, both proclaiming to be patriotic and working to save America. In reality they are controlled by the money interests, the 1% who have been increasing their income and profits for the last 3 decades as seen in the link to the article above. Elections, leaders, and political parties are dependent on them for the donations (read bribes or payment for favors) to stay in power and be re-elected - hence government is under their control. The middle and poor are now dependent on the government to survive, regardless which agenda you back.
The real answer is to reign in capitalism gone wild with greed. Limit profits to a reasonable amount. Return spending power to the little guy. This will make America great again. Staying on the path we have been manipulated into will only keep extending the money flow upwards and keep the middle and poor classes impoverished and dependent on a government bought and paid for by the people benefiting from the upward flow.
Will America wake up and see what is happening? The short answer is no. We are finished as a country if we follow the present course propounded by either party We have had our freedom, our financial stability and even our privacy removed from us while we are fighting this political agenda or that and blaming our presidents for what we have allowed to happen by our apathy.
