At this point, I think the only way “out” is “through”.
This country’s gotta crash to the point that the gov’t can’t be sustained or enforce its will, then we can rebuild.
I agree. I think we're past the point of no return, and things are going to have to "hit bottom" before we can turn around and start back on the right path. This may take a couple of generations, and it's going to get really ugly in the meantime. Fasten your seat belts.
