If the US keeps on going in the same socialistic inspired direction, it is nothing more than Greece in slow motion. But keep in mind that people will not change or wake up until the pain becomes severe enough and they are forced to change. This is the way it always has been and will continue.
Right now with a good portion of the public on some form or another on public aid, they just muddle through and get by and are not about to change. Once you get used to doing very little or nothing it gets in to your blood and it never ends well. People just happen to be creatures of habit, nothing has changed. And even so I am optimistic by nature I fail to foresee a good future.
It took generations to get where we are right now and it will take generations to get out of this mess. You can change a politician in every election, but changing the mind set what elects those wrong politicians over and over is an all together different story. On the other hand nothing is new about this story as countless other countries or nations have embarked on the same path and invariably ended up on the trash heap of history. It would be sad to see such a great human experiment to fail as I dearly love the US. I had been one of those LEGAL IMMIGRANTS over half a century ago and complied with the old adage, work hard and if in Rome do as the Romans do and it had served me well indeed and it pains me to see where the US is going.

My view is a bit different. It will take an election to get out of this mess, and if we don’t get it right pretty soon we never will get out of it. It’s unbelievable what the combination of a Leftist Supreme Court, a Leftist (and compliant) MSM, and a Leftist President have been able to achieve in such a short time.
Governor Walker is correct on one important point. The Senate filibuster rule has to be jettisoned if the next president is a Republican. That will be the only way to clean up the mess quickly enough to matter.
