It does seem these past (and current) administrations of DC have gone beyond bold and brazen to just shy of flipping the bird at the world from behind
the podium. Each new leader seems duty-bound to out-do the previous talking head, plundering us deeper into debt while turning a permissive blind eye
to wholesale corporate greed.
Many people, especially older folks that I speak to on the street, feel our country is headed to a civil war. They still recall better days when the
economy was good, the illusion was still intact and the White House was less filled with outright traitors.
I think the folks in Washington DC have been so thoroughly exploited & corrupted that there is no stopping the chaos and destruction. They are playing
the violin while Rome burns; few of them give a damn about what is right or good. Favors of all sorts and cash galore has poured in from around the
globe. Our representatives have sold out, exchanging their power and persuasion for personal gain. Those hooked in to the secret societies and
networked good ol boys are so drunk on power that they swagger about with the arrogance of a high-stakes gambler that is holding all aces.
Why else would our leaders perform as they do? It's obvious they do not give a damn about us or this country. Our 'rights' have eroded to the point
where it seems like everything is becoming illegal, no matter how trivial or irrelevant. Look at the numbers of prisoners & prisons the USA has, the
amount of death & destruction our military is sent to do around the world, how law enforcement escalates minor situations into tragic scenarios. Our
government employs a list of hired muscle that would fill a page, and your sweat goes to pay for it all.
We escalated beyond retaliation long ago. We are living in the throes of madness. There are citizens that have been pushed to the edge and more join
their ranks every day. Go check out how many homes are in foreclosure in the country where you live and the counties around yours. Compare the
unemployment rates we are told against how many people you know that are out of work. I think it is incredible that the masses have tolerated as much
as they have for as long as they have. How long can the steam build up before the lid blows clear off the pot?
