Yes, it’s striking how deep the federal tentacles are in practically every move and action by citizens across the country.

It would be something (my hopes aren’t high) if the result of the lockdown were to create an effective backlash against its intrusiveness overall—not just in Obamacare.

The other sliver of a hope I’d have would be if the country could be led to a new appreciation of our Constitution’s purposely giving the power of the purse to the House so as to make spending by the government that isn’t supported by the people possible.

I’d love to see that sort of civic education get national traction—though I know it’s highly unlikely.

The only way that happens is if we're out there teaching the lessons. I think the 'low information voter's' mind is so muddled by progressive thinking they are unable to see it is what chains them to the poverty of the lives, souls, and pocketbooks.

Ditto to your post. And I would add that people start thinking more about the 10th Amendment and supporting strong conservative governors and state legislatures.

That would be wonderful if it happened but I honestly believe that only a tiny and ever dwindling minority is able to even comprehend HOW the government is supposed to function, let alone WHY is was designed that way. Those who have been taught anything about all that are rapidly aging and dying. The younger people seem to have no understanding of what it is all about, they may think they know but most of what they know is wrong. I am a public high school graduate, it is frightening for me to speak to a young college graduate and realize that he knows far less about history and civics than I did when I was twelve.

Americans have tried to be ignorant and free and just as Jefferson said it has never been and never will be.
