“The Last official act of any government is to loot their own treasury”

Can’t say this hasn’t been happening.”
America is down but not out. We will bounce back. However, we will, as my husband says, need a Reagan on steriods to reverse what is happening right now.
One of my friends rehabilitates foreclosed homes. These are nice homes in upper, middle-class neighborhoods. He says it is not at all unusual to find half-million dollar houses absolutely trashed by the former owners, once those owners realized they were losing them. Appliances, plumbing and wiring are ripped out, sprinkler systems destroyed, landscaping poisoned, drywall used as target practice for large and small objects or even latrines, banisters smashed, windows broken out. Nothing convinces me the Dems won’t be exactly the same vis a vis our country if, by a miracle, there are honest elections, and they lose power. Lame Duck season will be very, very dangerous.
This Lame Duck session will be destructive no matter who wins.
I don’t see much hope of bouncing back when ordinary Americans are reacting to this crisis this way — by destroying property in adolescent fits and blame projection.
Yes, I can understand the frustration of losing your home and maybe even your entire portion. But if we don’t keep our wits about us as people, what’s going to happen when the really stupid folks get riled up?
I always remember on September 11th, an interview I saw with someone who had been in the WTC. They said the reason so many people got out is that people reacted with amazing order. They keep in lines to the side of the staircases. They let people entering from the various floors in in an orderly way. They made way for firemen and the disabled. It was an amazing picture of LITTLE PANIC.
What your friend sees in those homes is the opposite of LITTEL PANIC. It is not orderly, sober or rational. It will not come to a good end.
Sorry, my last post to you:
portion = fortune
