Having said that, the next question is how to fix it....On that point I am flat out of ideas....Government dependency is at all time highs and then there is this so called fiscal cliff stuff...
I contend that the fiscal cliff is way back in the rear view mirror. We fell off that Cliff about four years ago and we don't know that because the fall does not hurt...
It's that hard landing that will certainly get every ones attention.
So nothing can be done until we hit the concrete. I suggest we prepare for that and be ready to explain it to the bewildered populace......what's left of them anyway...
More Republicans governors were voted in this time. I think we may have to take the fight to the state level and one thing make it impossible to vote without ID. We need to cut down on election fraud. Plus we need to see how electronic machines are being calibrated. Only one state requested the FBI to check out the machines even though a lot of states were reporting votes were being changed from Romney to Obama.
I have long believed that the only real way to shake up The People of America will be a honest-to-goodness depression - the type where people don’t have enough to eat, and people die from exposure. Something like that has a tendency to focus minds and instill in youngsters the value of working hard. It also has a tendency to get governments at all levels to prune out wasteful laws and regulations. The closer to collapse of the whole system, the more of the latter effect occurs. Though the ‘30s Great Depression is what most of us think of when we hear the word, it is not the only depression that has occurred in this country.
Pray that no world power (or opportunists like AlQueda/Muslim Brotherhood) are able to take advantage of the chaos which will be rampant in the US while we undergo the coming depression.
The election of Reagan in 1980, and his effectiveness, delayed for a couple decades the recession is now, finally, likely to occur.
