I can't stop trying to get back the advances we made.

How can citizens be oblivious to the backsliding the GOP wants to continue in the name of economic prosperity? Can we not see how they want to drag us to the third world standard? Rather than raising the rest of the world to prosperity?

But I cannot ignore the massive, totally committed sacrifices of our predecessors.
