Absolutely. And that will be very hard to reverse. I'll probably take some flak for saying this, but Romney was the country's last hope in that regard.
I say that because as time goes on, there will be more and more takers and less and less makers. In other words, no more GOP presidents.
I don’t think Romney was any hope. He’s far too left to want to turn anything around. Then he had the gall to pretend to be “severely conservative” while running. He was far too dishonest.
