[QUOTE=JohnnyD;694792]If that's the excuse now, what was the excuse 3, 5 or even 7 years ago when the economy was flourishing and everyone had a job?

JD, I would say it started 15-20 year ago when corporate mergers became common place and with downsizing came 60-70 hr work weeks becoming the norm instead of the 40 hour week.

Not much time left to keep current on politics on all levels when at work or chained to a cell 24/7.

I agree every American should know the basics of our government and participate, but the few who have the time to keep abreast of Obama's new warp speed daily programs are few and far between.

That is to all our detriment.
