"America" Just Doesn't Fit Anymore

Times have really changed and so it seems appropriate to really start making some changes. Just yesterday, S&P downgraded the AAA rating of the U.S. to AA+.  Something that has held steady since 1917!  It seems our leadership (both parties included) keep playing a game of "kick the can down the road" and providing short-term fixes based on personal biases and self-interest.  America is ailing BIG time from short sightedness, individualism and partisanship.  There is truly now only "me" and "i" in America.  The "we" for which it stands is no longer evident to its citizens and the world at large.  Whatever happened to making decisions based on the common good and the very foundations by which this country was founded?  It's definitely time to make some changes!  Let's make the biggest change of all and put the "we" and "can" back into America.  "Wemerican" seems like a good nomenclature to get things rolling!
