That's the price to be paid for anyone who puts their delusional faith in a Federal government that has no legal or moral right to exist as it does right now.
You'll note that this country was much more true to its founding principles when there were no Social Security checks, no "healthcare for veterans," and no major military campaigns in Third World sh!t-holes for decades at a time.
I agree. Yet how is a soldier able to not be at the mercy of the government? A sailor deployed in the Pacific was told by a judge that he will lose his daughter and/or be arrested for child abandonment if he doesn’t appear at a hearing in Michigan in 2 days. There is no way to get him there by then. He was given custody of his daughter after Child Protective Services took the child away from the mother for child abuse. He was on deployment so his current wife is taking care of the daughter, trying to hold everything together. And now he’s likely to be thrown in jail because the military can’t or won’t jump however high this hot-shot judge in Michigan says they have to jump. Why having his wife care for the daughter is any different than a parent putting a child in daycare all day, I don’t know. But how was this guy supposed to anticipate this mess when he signed up for the military?
I was listening to my Mom and Dad describing the Depression in their farming community. People literally survived off of the eggs and milk they could sell in exchange for other staples. And it was enough. Neighbors helped each other out. They knew who the drunks were and helped take care of the kids and missus, knowing they had no provider.
Right now property taxes alone would destroy every one of those families that pulled together then.
We’re in a huge mess. It’s taken a lot of years to get America this vulnerable. We all should have seen it coming yet here we are.
What’s the reset button?
