“One would have to be in denial not to see what is coming at the end of the road. If these hacks are incapable or unwilling to address the real issue, what outcome is left?”
The only outcome is that things will keep going the way they’re going until a complete collapse of the existing system either happens, or is so close to happening that the reality can no longer be denied, even by the hardened communists (of which most ‘rats are now, anyway).
Fearless prediction:
You won’t live to see any elected group of D.C. politicians — regardless of party — willingly take action that will reverse the decline. To do so would be political suicide, and very few (no?) political animal is going to commit hari-kari for the national good. That’s just not what humans (of any persuasion) do. This is to be expected.
The ship cannot be saved from foundering.
It can only be raised and salvaged -after- having sunk.
Yep. Too many special interest groups. Country too divided.
No courage to fix what is broken. Leaves only one outcome.
Tax Increases may delay it, but won’t fix it.
