Democrats--the Democratic Party helped to create more widespread voting rights.

I love the United States, and I love what it means to be an American. But let's face it, whether you think that America is the greatest country in the world or not, you're probably right. There are many things that make America a great place to live, but there are a number of issues which we face, and will continue to face, that are sending us down a road towards mediocrity (and even failure).
In a country where our discourse was once divided, and has now scattered into a spiderweb of varying political thought, we are faced with a great deal of political issues - some more important than others. Addressing these 10 issues specifically would allow the United States to lead by example, and inevitably restore America to what once made it great.
1. Another Housing Crisis
The result of government mismanagement and bad business practices, the sub-prime mortgage crises (or the Housing Bubble Burst) became the major cause of economic downturn for the United States in 2007 and 2008. The Federal Reserve has decided to double down on these policies, by spending billions of dollars a month to buy up mortgage backed securities. Peter Schiff says this is an attempt to re-inflate the bubble that already burst, and could cause another collapse of similar proportions.
2. Marriage Rights
Despite supposedly having the support of our current president, very little has been done in the way of legalizing gay marriage in this country. While this may not appear to be a major issue to everyone, it is a civil rights issue where the United States is well behind the curve. Marriage is a right, not a privilege, and should be guaranteed to all consenting adults. It is time for both parties to lay down partisanship, step over bigotry, and get the ball rolling.
