I posted this on another thread and it speaks to the Washingtonian problem.
No solutions to problems will ever come from DC, because DC is the problem.
All each election cycle is about is which bunch of degenerate crooks, cowards, con men, and liars gets to control and redistribute the money extorted by the IRS from us chumps outside the beltway, and how much of it.
It’s plain to see what is going on in DC to anyone who has ever spent any time there.
The place is perpetually flush with cash extorted from the little guys paycheck on a scale that would outrage the Mafia.
Hundreds of thousands of Federal Apparatchiks with big smiles on their faces walk around drawing huge salaries, plus bonuses and pensions, courtesy of us dolts in the hinterland.
What has the GOP ever done when they controlled the WH and Congress that materially changed anything, or made the Federal Bureaucracy smaller?
We still have the agencies like IRS, the Department of Energy, and Education, and EPA, and to boot, they established new ones like DHS and TSA.
Anyone who tries to starve the beast is politically assassinated by propagandists from the left and right, like Gingrich was over the Government shutdown at the end of his career in Congress and again a few months ago when he tried for the nomination.
There will be nothing coming out of DC other than a bigger hand in your pocket and more limits on your freedom.
The DC problem will not be solved politically.
The FOUNDERS had no intention of establishing Universal Suffrage and DELIBERATELY did not put a right to vote in the Constitution because they knew it would lead to the collapse before us today, and make no mistake about it, when the Social Security checks stop coming, there will be a collapse.
Universal Suffrage has been enacted via Constitutional Amendments, hell, the communists are even giving illegal aliens the vote by Executive Order.
Collapse and reset are the only way out of this now, and rotating the Capital amongst the States.
There is no greater threat to the freedom and prosperity of the American Citizenry than the Federal Apparatus in Washington DC, and anyone who thinks all we have to do to change things is send the “right” people there hasn’t looked at the situation from a logical perspective at best, or at worst, is self delusional.
Electing more Republicans will solve the problem, now that’s a hoot!!
I lived in the WDC area for about 30 years. I have often said if the average taxpayer saw even a small portion of the government excess there (overly nice buildings, excessive salaries and benefits and so forth) things wouldn’t be so peaceful. Most of my neighbors and acquaintances had their hands in the till somehow through employment, grants, consulting, etc. Truly...WDC is the Excess Capital of the World.
“Electing more Republicans will solve the problem, now that’s a hoot!!”
Its not about solving problems. For me its about kicking the Democrats in the balls on last time before SHTF.
Perhaps global warming is okay, since part of the premise is that the oceans will rise. If that happens, say goodbye and good riddance to coastal cities such as DC, NYC, the entire Eastern seaboard, LA, SF, Seattle, etc.
