As a strong, independent mom in Connecticut I personally disagree with your ending comment about how "America used to be an intelligent,economically sound and compassionate nation". The reason why this is such a problem is the fact that you neglected to put a space between the comma and the word economically. Seeing as you are, as your name suggests, "overeducated"; I was appalled to see such an elementary error from a person who claims to have such a high level of education.
