The problem with us? Its simple.
FAR too much government, grown over decades now by our completely unbacked, fiat currency and massive Federal Reserve debt, giving politicians and their cronies no need for any restraint.
Massive government means leftist ideologues have the apparatus and money to force their political and social engineering schemes onto the country for “fundamental transformation.”
And that process of forced “transformation” is what you are feeling now....
Before that, we lost control of the media, education, and culture to the left, and they’ve had 2 or more generations to create a class of voters that doesn’t know their history, doesn’t care about traditional values, and cannot discriminate between truth and fiction.
That gets us to the situation of far too much goverment and the transformation to a socialist empire run by a ruling class of crony capitalists and their pals in both parties.
