“ Our legislatures don’t want to assume any responsibility either. They are weak and subservient to governors and bureaucracies.”
The government class has become universally weak and ineffective at the actual job of governing because now it is all about amassing personal wealth and, primarily at the state and local levels, opening professional options for advancement by selling out to big money interests more effectively than the next politician in line. A government of sell outs and embezzlers.
The interests that spread money around most thickly control agendas with their purchased newly rich automatons. China, tech giants, defense industrialists, environmentalists, International trade and most importantly, international banks.
The idea of a Republic, a government of, by and for the people, is completely lost because you need to be bought and owned by the super big money to get in the club. A self-made man can never be in this club. Mitch McConnell is the the ideal poster-figure for this...but he’s just one of many. This system won’t last terribly long because it is built to collapse. China learning the game so well that it has become one of the biggest players tells you all you need to know about the longevity of this system - which I refer to as government of, by and for the government.
Well stated!
Our government is thoroughly corrupt, self-serving and steadily losing confidence of the people. It is, as you say, a bunch of sellouts and embezzlers.
Our government has become everything the Founding Fathers warned us about and tried to prevent.
Sadly both parties are in on it, leaving us with no other choice than to form a new one that stands for the preservation of the values and principles that made the country great.
