The latest election moved us closer to an abyss. Not so much because of who won, as both candidates were nudging us further along. will there will come a time, next week, next decade next century when it all comes tumbling down? Hope not.
the citizens want more stuff. Best I can figure about 70% of the voters this month wanted more government, regardless of party label.
we support wars, certainly the just ones and cry cry cry that we defend freedom. (but not if I have to pay for it. not if my taxes go up) I believe it was JFK who said "the cost of freedom is high, but Americans have always paid the price". Not true.

i want to hear a citizen ask that the nation to stop doing things for them. stop giving me this benefit, this toy, this trinket. stop trying to buy my loyalty.
"stop taxing social security" No, tax it more.
"stop taxing tips" That one is laughable, and not worth a retort.
"tariff this and tariff that". You will destroy the whole world economy.
