LETTER: America is too selfish

Do you ever get the feeling that we, Americans of the United States, are some of the most selfish, self-centered and immature brats that ever lived? I am not claiming to be guilt-free, but look at our national situation as a whole!

We have supposed leaders in Washington, D.C., that will not agree to “take-care-of-our-own” in the form of health care reform, but they continue, well over seven years, to send U.S. troops in harm’s way and to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on two un-necessary wars in countries that are reported to have very corrupt governments!

We have probably 10 to 15 percent of the richest, most powerful people in the world, yet these brats are the very Americans that are sending our jobs, and perhaps our very future stability, to other countries! At what point in unemployment and under-employment will these so-called Americans understand the very real damage that they are causing to the very country that they call home?

The over-whelming majority of us are not guilt-free either. When are the parents and grand-parents of our generation going to understand that you cannot always treat yourself and little Johnny and Sue to every brand-new do-dad that comes along? There are probably millions of Americans who are absolutely so immature with their finances that they have very little savings in the bank, yet they treat themselves to every monthly billing service amenity available!

In closing, I believe I heard on the national news that the U.S. government is technically in debt to China by over $300 billion! I truly pray that the rampant selfishness, self-centeredness and gross immaturity in our nation will subside before we all are totally indebted to foreign powers!
