The world's problems won't be solved, don't kid yourself. If history teaches anything its that those in power will do anything to retain it, and America is progressing down a path of 'dumbification' for lack of an actual word that best describes the population. Americans are being numbed by so many distractions and are choosing to remain ignorant rather than educate themselves on how their government and the globe works. If you were to ask the average American what were the two policies undertaken by The Fed in 2008 in order to prevent (however temporarily) the financial crisis from escalating even further I'd bet you not many would be able to answer. And if they could answer, I bet most wouldn't be able to explain how those policies were meant to prevent a depression and how in actuality the extended use of those tools is only delaying the depression.
Once it becomes impossible to be ignorant then we'll start to see problems changed, until then its just rhetoric and posturing to retain office. Business as usual.
