It's so obvious that even a slobbering fool should be able to understand it: (apologies to the Democrats, their CPUSA allies, the homosexual agenda and the legions of lazy asses who only wish to loll about all day on the couch awaiting the mailman.) the USA CANNOT stand for the next four years under this mentally ill communist muslim!
The author points out, but doesn’t directly say the obvious.
America is in decline, because its government is so top heavy that it has become sluggish. In its mindless quest to become “all things to all people”, it is losing its ability to do anything efficiently.
This is deadly for a government.
There is a ratio that has existed since mankind created government in the first place, that can be called “government efficiency”, and it determines when a government succeeds and when it fails. It is a simple ratio, of what a government promises vs. what it delivers.
Oddly enough, it matters far less *what* a government promises than what it delivers. If a government just promises a few things, and delivers on that promise, it will likely survive and its people prosper.
But if a government promises everything, and delivers less and less of what it has promised, it is doomed to failure as it is no longer governing, but just trying to buy itself more time in power.
Amazingly, even the US government now realizes that it is so bloated that it can barely breathe, but on one side the Democrats say the only thing that can be done is to get so much larger that we will collectively have a heart attack, and it will *force* us to change.
And the Republicans are like the abused, co-dependent spouse of a morbidly fat man, who equate love with feeding him more and more food, because he curses them when they offer to even reduce the rate of the increase in the food they give him, much less to cut back on his food.
So, in any event, the assumption should be that our government is on the road to collapse, and our economy to a massive depression.
Hopefully, the system will be resilient enough so that some real leader will emerge who will put the government on a deep diet, restore some semblance of sanity to spending, tear down the stifling business oligopolies, and bring back free market values in our country, while seeking trade advantages with other countries.
