This quote by Ayn Rand, from over a half-century ago, is prophetic about the state of the U.S. government.

“The great oak tree had stood on a hill over the Hudson, in a lonely spot on the Taggart estate. Eddie Willers, aged seven, liked to come and look at that tree. It had stood there for hundreds of years, and he thought it would always stand there. Its roots clutched the hill like a fist with fingers sunk into the soil, and he thought that if a giant were to seize it by the top, he would not be able to uproot it, but would swing the hill and the whole of the earth with it, like a ball at the end of a string. He felt safe in the oak tree's presence; it was a thing that nothing could change or threaten; it was his greatest symbol of strength.

One night, lightning struck the oak tree. Eddie saw it next morning. It lay broken in half, and he looked into its trunk as into the mouth of a black tunnel. The trunk was only an empty shell; its heart had rotted away long ago; there was nothing inside-just a thin gray dust that was being dispersed by the whim of the faintest wind. The living power had gone, and the shape it left had not been able to stand without it.”

― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Maybe, just maybe, we need a new Government. A government without an FBI/CIA/NSA or KGB.

True. You cannot order a new Lincoln or other vehicle that use chip/chips as they are back logged. Even my Dell I-5 laptop that is only six months old, has been out since mid-October. The problem is another backlog in a hard drive made in India. In short, we are not the USA we were as Biden and pals are selling more and more to India and China. We do not even make our own antibiotics. Biden is a jerk as even our Patriot missiles have very new software for command and control that is not for enemy use. Our government is run by idiots. Our politicians are mostly attorneys who know zip about economics or business. We are in deep s.
