At this point, it doesn't matter. The US is headed for a debt and inflation crisis unlike any seen before. The Federal government is spending nearly twice its revenue, which makes the economy look good. The current cyclical lull in inflation won't last. CNBC's Rick Santelli, who has spent many years in the heart of the financial beast, expects interest rates in the teens.

The "progressives" are systematically destroying the values that make society functional. Honesty, merit, civility, tolerance, family,.... Get out of the big cities now, before it is too late, and move to a gated rural community in a solid red state, preferably with a core of ex-military residents.

The picture of Chuck and Mitch says it all. Another BOHICA moment. I long ago disabused myself of the notion that government does anything other than that which benefits them and their cronies.

It is disheartening to watch what has happened in Congress and as we have seen in Europe, it appears that a more populist wave is going to hit us soon. Watch for more authoritarian behavior by the current administration and more protests around the country. the 4th turning is here

American voters are too addicted to getting there own benefits to change things. Something like the NOWHA proposal would be best; but wait "I'd actually pay taxes instead of deducting them away!" would affect too many "middle-class" Americans.
