Yep, Maybe we should quit blaming other entities like "America" and "Politicians" and put the responsibility where it truly belongs which is on our own shoulders. The mere fact that we can't wait to blame someone or something for our shortcomings tells the true story. We've grown up in a time where we witnessed the rewards prior generations achieved through hard work, courageous fighting, personal responsibility and integrity.
We've now produced a couple of generations who feel entitled to the same rewards those prior generations won but don't possess (or choose not to use) those same qualities that can make it a reality. Instead they choose handouts and / or easy credit to reward themselves with their perceived entitlements and then whine that they were forced to go into debt.
