Open apathy's eyes and light the fuse

The last time i checked "the senate" is made up of democrats and republicans with the dems being the majority.

Exactly.I am not american but i do see what the media put on our news everynight.How can a country as rich as America have so many homeless and hungry citizens?.Even hard working citizens who cannot afford good medical insurance so have to depend on the free service offered by a foreigner and yet this country allows billions of dollars to be spent on what they say is justifyable defence expenses.
SAD...so very very sad..!!
