Once the Left took the presidency, the House, and Senate, they tried a deadly experiment on the American people.
As the midterms approach, one way of looking at America’s current disaster is that we, the American people, were lab rats. And since 2021, the Left were the mad scientists, eager to try out their crackpot leftist experiments on us.
The result is that the housing market is tottering on the verge of collapse.
As interest rates soar, our $31 trillion national debt crowds out everything else in the budget.
Inflation roars at a rate of 8-9 percent per annum, higher than at any time in 40 years. Yet the prices of the stuff of life—food, fuel, shelter, energy—are far steeper still than the official rate.
No one is safe from thugs anymore—whether a commuter on a New York subway or the Pelosis in Pacific Heights.
The country reportedly has a 25-day supply of diesel fuel—the energy source that runs the nation. Meanwhile, we keep draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve of oil—a commodity we have in abundance but refuse to produce fully.
We never fixed the supply-chain crisis of last year, and so still face shortages of key consumer goods.
The labor participation rate is at an all-time low—given fat government COVID subsidies, the Siren-song appeal of staying home after the lockdowns, fear of COVID, and millions of workers with long COVID.
The post-Kabul Pentagon is quiet about the depletion of its critical stocks of weaponry. We have sent billions of dollars’ worth in howitzer shells, javelin missiles, and Hilmar rocket launchers to Ukraine without replenishing our own arsenals. The Army’s recruitment rate is off 50 percent this year.
Our broken Navy is ossifying as China expands its fleet in expectation of absorbing Taiwan.

Why can’t we do medical experiments on the “Deep State” and save the rats?
We are Frankenstein’s monster coming back to get them!
Right now we’re more like Fauci’s beagles.
Speak for yourself. To take care of this riff-raff we don’t need many, but only the right people and we are Frankenstein’s monster and in a rage.
There are several advantages to your proposal:
1. There’s tons of deep staters so supply isn’t an issue
2. Lab techs won’t get attached to a DS like they might a rat
3. There’s some things a rat just won’t do

“Lab Rats”—
The Conservatives didn’t take the shot. This is called natural selection.
if they empty the prisons
maybe law abiding citizens could rent a cell for safety
a cost center is now an income stream
And yet odder still, no Democratic candidate, state or national—and most certainly not Joe Biden—offers to alter these toxic policies.
If they won’t defend what they have done, they apparently will not undo what they have wrought either.
No Democratic gubernatorial candidate wants one foot built of a new border wall. No House candidate demands that the Keystone pipeline be finished. No senatorial candidate calls for fiscal discipline to lower inflation.
Instead, they stay mute.
Biden mutters lies about MAGA extremists under every bed while daily offering yet another made-up tidbit of his fantasy autobiography.

As a reminder, Professor Hanson has asked that we do not post the full article of his writings. Thank you for following the link to finish his article.
I like his podcasts because he always discusses his latest article. He discussed this last week. Not one single D is running on this disaster they created.
Thank you. Outstanding article.

I listen to his podcasts too. They are excellent.
It was to decrease the surplus population!
Um, no, we didn't.
“The labor participation rate is at an all-time low—given fat government COVID subsidies, the Siren-song appeal of staying home after the lockdowns”
But unemployment is only 3.5%.
That’s 3.5%of people that actually want to work. But who wants to work when the government is throwing money at you.
