We will need a strong personality at the top. Stronger even than Reagan IMO. The congress, the Democrats, and the media will howl loudly and make the president look like Attila the Hun at the first hint of downsizing the government. We could even see riots in the street (stirred up by the usual suspects). I hope we elect someone with the metal to do it. Our national debt is a train wreck just waiting to happen.
Unfortunately all free nations/semi free devolve to dictators eventually. It has yet to fail. It sucks but once a people become ungovernable, it’s the logical progression.
