U.S. Issues 8/22/14

      I think the three biggest problems in America is our national debt, unemployment, and lack of education. I also believe that all of these things are connected. Our national debt is caused in part by unemployment; and unemployment is caused in part by a lack of education. America needs to work to fix these problems. Otherwise, we will be crushed by the debt.
     Our national debt raises every second of every day; so this is probably the biggest problem. Many things contribute to over $61,000,000,000,000 we owe at this moment. Instead of working to pay off our debt, people are focused on lesser things. Therefore, the debt is getting no closer to being paid. I believe fixing this debt should be our number one priority in America.
     Unemployment is one of those things that cause the rise in debt. With 3 unemployed people, there is 1 working person paying for the unemployed as well as for themselves. This is something that needs to be fixed. Although, yes there are some legitimate reasons as to why some people are unemployed. Those of us who are able to get a job, should get one; and maybe it would fix some of the problems in America.
     A lack of education is also a cause for unemployment. People who are uneducated have a problem finding and keeping jobs. I think people who don't have a good excuse to leave/drop out of school, should not be able to. You should only be able to drop out of school if you have a medical reason or you are physically/emotionally unable to attend. But even then, there are ways you can achieve an education at home.
     While there are many problems America faces daily, I feel these are the biggest ones. It may take a lot of work to fix these problems, but people need to work hard on it. America needs to stop being lazy, and learn that to get an enjoyable life, you have to overcome obstacles and work hard.
