We are financially, roasting our own future

You and I agree completely about the return of industry to the heartland. Without it, we die - it's that simple.

But I don't think it's principally a financial issue - it's a spiritual and moral one.

Simple, ordinary men with IQs in the 88-98 range are ether going to be miserable serfs or free men. To be free men, they need women and work.

On welfare, they get neither.

A Brilliant Prophecy From 93 Years Ago
H. L. Mencken (born 1880 - died 1956) was a journalist, satirist, critic, and Democrat . He wrote this editorial while working for the Baltimore Evening Sun, which appeared in the July 26, 1920 edition.

“As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic moron.”

So it was written and so it has come to pass.

"But I don't think it's principally a financial issue - it's a spiritual and moral one."

Very much agreed on that.

"In our lifetime the USSR went kaput."

Agreed on that, too.

But the state and local governments are also saturated with socialist corruption and are taking enormous amounts of funding from the federal government. Give them more sway, and they'll take even more while no longer bothering to cover movement toward slavery with propaganda.

The economic, anti-freedom and anti-competition problems come from decades of un-American elements climbing into business, political and academic leadership. The country is beginning to look more like the recent, former homelands of the newer families in leadership positions (corrupt and evil).

The most influential constituents (including lobby organizations of state and local governments) choose candidates in political parties and sponsor the media. Makes more people trend toward nonpolitical or even anti-political positions (re. fall of the Soviet Union).

I don't cause consequences of the errors of large numbers of people to happen. I only write some of the lesser known news. Have fun. Enjoy the slide. That is, prepare to take care of yourselves and loved ones.
