Unfortunately, there are millions and millions now and there is going to be hell to pay to restore things. Better now than later IMHO though.
Folks don't want to hear that, and really don't want to look hard at what it will take, or what the conequences will be because it probably means insurrection and out and out fighting.
But, we delay at all of our peril, to our way of life and our liberty IMHO.
Agreed, there is going to be hell to pay, but it is not going to get any better the further down the road we go.
Historically society's who have reached their apogee, such as ours, become complacent. While they are resting on their laurels, they are all the time being encircled by the barbarians waiting for the best moment to strike.
The problem we are facing is that over the last 20-30 years the barbarians have not been encircling our country, but have instead been infesting it waiting for their moment, all with the help of our government. So unfortunately there is just not going to be an easy way out of this, that is of course assuming that we still have a way out.
Just my opinion.
