... and will likely be even more inclined to vote for Democrats as a result. Sigh.
That’s a real danger. When the civil society dissolves, when it is largely destroyed by hyperinflation and unemployment, in which direction shall the people turn?
Will they turn to Liberty or Tyranny? Will they demand a return to the Constitutional principles that made the US the exception to world history or will they demand that a strong man “do something?”
I hope for the best but anticipate the worst.
This is why I think our first targets should be te regulatory agencies that kill jobs. Once we start doing things that really encourage job creation we can start picking away at the entitlements.
Unemployment itself isn’t the problem; continuing to pay unemployment perpetually is THE problem. So our wonderful government pays you to do nothing; fabulous.
Now there is a helper in destroying the middle class...it’s called business.
The middle class is already decimated as I see what’s happening at my place of work. Of 400 employees in our manufacturing facility 200 of them are temps making $10 per hour with no benefits and have been for well over 12 months. They will hire about 2 people per month which is coincidentally the hired in turnover rate. The company saves tons of money having temps do the same work as the hired in guy on the line as they cost about half what a hired in employee does to keep around.
Obviously our company cannot compete without having 50% of our workforce in a “temporary” status for literally years. This is a symptom of a bigger problem; our manufacturing base is also being decimated by our trade agreements with other countries that put overseas competitors on way better financial footing then you and I here in the USA.
So what do you do? Government has looted the treasury and continues to spend as if there is no tomorrow and the once great “arsenal for democracy” has become nothing but a marketplace for imports.
