Indeed, the one certain victor in the coronavirus pandemic war will likely be Big Government.

The pandemic will pass by.
The economy will rise again.

But we've allowed a lot of tyranny and "emergency powers" because of the flu. The government closed churches. The government blocked freedom of association. This is the sort of bad politics that can stay with you for generations.

Don't know what pat is smoking, he varies between clear cognizance and antisemitic rage.

I quit looking for the point of his rambling years ago but like Joe Biden they keep leaving the relic of who he once was on display for all to see.

The Victor appears to be nationalism, with international organizations and para-national NGO power structures pulling back a bloody stump

“And if the Democrats win in November, the nation will likely take a great leap forward - toward national health insurance.”

What nation? We would not survive a Joe Biden presidency. He’d sit in some corner while Val jar and the Clinton Obama Bushes Ransack anything that is left of us.

Then their friends the Chinese will take over.

What are y’all anti Semite baiting for?

Little chip on the shoulders? y’all ...i mean really

This article is about how this Great Panic has fostered even more Big Government largesse which is true and along with being an avenue for people to show their usual worst traits that’s precisely what we’ve gotten from this

How anyone sees anti semitism in that I missed it...

I’m not oblivious to Covid..I’ve had two relatives die from it

My ex mother in law and my wwii vet uncle

88 and 94 respectively

The government did the same thing in 1918. Closed the churches, cancelled events, etc.

Restrictions were gone the next year.

In an attempt to separate the messenger from the message -

Our nation is bankrupt.

We are hopelessly in debt with no plan to stop incurring debt or pay down our debt. This is the legacy “we” leave our nation and children.

I don’t have any faith that we will fix our finances. The end result will be a severe crash that will not only wreck our nation, but likely drag the world down with us as the reserve currency crashes.

I don’t want this to happen. I think it will be really bad when it happens. I don’t know if it will happen quickly like this pandemic or slowly through inflation, but I know it will happen.

What have we done to our children?

There are many who think we can correct this problem. In a rational world with moral and ethical leadership that despises debt and deficits that might be true. In a moral nation that recognizes we don’t have the money to pay for all of these entitlements and promises that might be true.

We do not live in that world. We have created a system where any politician who talks about this or tries to address our spending will be fired by the voters. Kick the can is not a sound economic plan to restore financial wellness in our own lives, but it is apparently okay for our politicians.

This is the way I see it and if I am wrong, tell me where. Our trajectory towards bankruptcy has increased velocity in an unprecedented fashion in the last two months and there is more debt promised in future bills and bailouts.

He is right about that. I wish he were not.

One thing, there is no doubt.

The USA and all other developed nations are racing towards bankruptcy at an accelerating rate.

88 and 94.... and you’re claiming they died of Covid? Contributing factor perhaps, or was it from being forced into a nursing home or hospital that is completely festering with germs?

I wouldn’t go near a Hospital or Nursing Home right now even if ordered to.

What are y’all anti Semite baiting for?

I'm not, but here goes:

It's always da Jooooooooos!

I'm mocking and baiting the people who see everything as being the Jooooooooos, not the Jews themselves.

(s) nully who used to work with a former Hitler Youth. A perfectly reasonable sounding guy unless WWII or Jews came up in conversation...

Pat is right: the country is in a terrible mess. What to do is less clear though.

Anti-tax activist Grover Norquist once famously declared: "I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub."

Stupid quote by Norquist, who should have realized he doesn't have what it takes to be funny and that people would forever think of him as some malevolent psycho who likes to drown small creatures in bathtubs.

Call it Robert Taft conservatism. Today, it appears irrelevant.

Taft wasn't as small government as his supporters believed. Like Reagan, he had an immunity to attacks from the right.

I suspect a Jubilee type of deal will solve the debt problem.

A reset if you will.

Another obvious hit piece on Trump by Buchanan.

Deep state operative.

In Buchanan’s day there was only the deep state. He never had a choice.

Well you outed yourself. No wonder you hate Trump. There was no anti-semitism. We need a troll purge.

“I’m not the one obsessed with it, Pat is. Fuck that guy.”

I didn’t see anything about Jews in this article. Could you point it out?
