<human>: For me, I'm disgusted with how much national debt we have and the fact that we spend over 50% of our federal budget on our military. We also have the widest gap between the rich and the poor in all of human history. CEO's are making something like 250 times more than their average worker. To make matters worse, many of the richest people in our society are asking for tax breaks as if they can't afford it, which makes America look like it's full of greedy business owners and politicians. 

I'm also not proud that we jail drug users for as long as murderers and rapists, and that we release criminals early to make more room for the marijuana smokers. We have this mentality that "if the laws are strict crime will be deterred," but there is significant evidence that this doesn't work most of the time.

I understand that America is not the scum of the Earth, nor is it the only one that has these problems. However, world-news is not widely popular across this nation; we tend to focus more on our country rather than the world as a whole, which is why I go on Reddit so I don't feel so shut out.

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: it's hard not to think America sucks when all we focus on is ourselves, so let's hear some other problems around the world to know that we're not alone.
