1) The decrease of the value of the dollar
2) gas prices
3) taxes/social security
The dollar is decreasing in value currently, and that's because the economy is faltering. It now takes 7 cents to make every nickel and 3 cents to make every penny. The economy is going bad, because of prices going sky high across the board (inflation). Housing is too expensive, automotive companies are struggling to make ends meet, and the American public frequenly pays with credit or debit cards and don't even carry cash on them.
Gas prices are way too high. The national average is frequently near $4.00, while sometimes the average will seep over that total. Premium gas prices have made it almost impossible for people to own luxury cars, and the rise in diesel fuels have made a lot of truckers have to put their trucks up for sale.
Social security needs to be reworked. The majority of the baby boomers (40-55 year olds) might not even have enough to live on. Something has to be done.
I personally would do a lot of things to fix these problems. Things just need to be reworked. I would pump my oil right here in the USA to lower prices. To raise the value of things around the US, I would slash minimum wage down. I also think that the government takes a little bit too much financial compensation. I'm not saying the government should be completely hands off, but I do think that it shouldn't be this big and overwhelming.
Things have changed though. There are a lot more issues in America today that deal with domestic issues. A lot of people are struggling right now from coast to coast. In the 1950s and 60s, it seemed that the majority of the problems in the US stemmed from overseas events like Vietnam. We need a strong presidential candidate to come in and take control and get this country back on the right track.

Me too, I hate the fact that the gas prices have gone up! I cant even go to the mall without spending fricking 20 bucks trying to get there!!!!
No wonder why the world is going to anarchy.
Yea i think that the gas prices should be lowered. The price is way to high. And it just keeps raising.
I didn't know that it costs more to make a penny and a nickel. That makes no cents and and sents. Literally.
