How can an overly large government be sustained with revenues of little value and no large manufacturing base during this post-industrial age? Government at all levels is weakening now, in that many regulations can’t be often enforced. Here and there, desperate government offices are trying the last ditch tactic of making examples of individuals.
It can't be sustained. If ones intention is to become a Dictator like Chavez or Castro, etc., then you have it all already, and the people are poor and hungry and own nothing ...
The crime rate along the border and the drugs coming into west Texas is out of control. The numbers of new people not being documented and what at one time were called wet backs is smothering us with the need for bigger schools, more teachers and hospitals with non paying emergency rooms which are used for headaches, colds, cut fingers and many non life threatening treatments. The hospital loses millions yearly. there is a need for low cost housing. There are no houses being built for under $1,000,000
Prefabs and mobile homes are the low cost housing. Problems, problems, problems... much crime ... bugularly, drunk driving, rapes, fights, domestic disputes, drugs, drugs, drugs, ... our jails are overly full and we have added to them twice(one is a whole new jail) in the last few years. God help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen.
