What's the most ignored problem in the US in your opinion?

It's hard to list just one so i'll have to go with Homeless Veterans. To me it is appalling the way Veterans are treated and have been treated by our government. It seems everyday there are endless stories about homeless Veterans on TV. Thankfully most people have generous hearts and deep pockets. 

I volunteer at a local Veterans hospital. A lot of these brave men/women don't have families and have all but been forgotten by our government. Some days I leave there with tears in my eyes because it breaks my heart that they are not given the respect they so deserve!! We need to address this problem and NOW!!!

Education..or lack of...tops the list

Where to start? The obesity, the frankly appalling gun 'laws', the complete ignorance/arrogance of some of the population. The way America seems to be trying to take over the world or the america-is-the-best-at-everything attitude? (I am aware that not all Americans are like that, but the ignorant ones seem to be the best at getting heard, which reflects very badly on the many wonderful people that live there)

Treatment for children with severe mental illness;

Facilities for adults with mental disabilities/autism;

The foster care system and help for young adults leaving the foster care system;

Antibiotic use in meat;

Food safety in general;

I think it is the lack of people wanting to work together. Too many people want to be on a "team" and only want to work on or with that team. We as a nation have seemed to have lost our ability to compromise. That to me is a huge problem. Look at congress for example. They are so unproductive because each side wants it their way and their way only. 

We are paying a huge amount of money to politicians who do nothing but bicker. And it is not just the politicians. I see it everyday with common citizens.

Mental illness. We are ignoring this issue and it is costing us lives.

Veterans. They need our love and support once they come home. Illegal immigrants do not have the right to receive paid support before we take care of our veterans.

This is a good discussion question. Thank you for asking this.

Obesity. More people are suffering from things like cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes than there needs to be. Just like how smoking and drinking is a choice, getting obese is also a choice. EVERY.SINGLE.TIME... When you decide to put something into your mouth.Sure there are RARE cases of disease and conditions, but those just mean you need to work harder. Also while the effects of smoking and drinking are usually irreversible, obesity isn't nearly as permanent. All it comes down to is effort. 

But sadly, the obese community spends more effort defending themselves with pseudoscience. And instead of "supporting" each other to get healthier. They're supporting each other to continue their lifestyle, and that anyone who suggests dieting or exercise is considered "evil" or prejudice against them. There's also some who believe we got hit by some genetic mutation over the past few decades that turned 1 out of 20 of us strictly in the USA into morbidly obese entities.

I had the chance to leave my little comfort zone this Independence Day weekend to visit relatives in another part of the country. My goodness, you know what I think? Obesity and lack of education.

The people I encountered were fat. Even the kids. It was a very.. Sad sight. A family of 3 at Little Caesars, each eating their OWN large pizza while chugging their OWN 2-liter soda. Speaking to relatives and their friends (who were also fat) made me go dumb. I think their general outlook on higher education is that it's "Liberal brain washing machine that fills our kids with propaganda". I don't think there was a single college degree in that town. A lot of confederate flags though and A LOT of food on. I saw a guy couple of dudes  skinning a deer making jerky.

To think there's a large population of similar people in our country.

Getting the whole truth and nothing but the real facts from our Government and Media nowadays about anything happening in our great country

Obesity...
