Nearly everybody on this board sees what the problems are, and many excellent suggestions have been made about where to cut, eliminate and re-direct in order to get our government and our economy back on track. Problem is, though, that none of these sensible ideas will ever come to fruition because the whole political and economic system is too firmly entrenched to ever be meaningfully changed through traditional political processes. It doesn’t really matter who is president, and it has become apparent this week that it doesn’t matter who’s in Congress. No question, the sockmonkey is a disaster but it doesn’t really matter who’s holding the wheel when the bus goes off the cliff.
The change will inevitably happen, and when it does it will be the result of some sort of cataclysmic catastrophe (economic collapse, WWIII, unprecedented natural disaster, revolution, etc.) that will turn everything upside down and force us to start over again. It will not be pretty.
The question is, will there be enough people of strength, character, integrity and wisdom to hold it together long enough to begin anew and do it correctly. If the entire nation was composed of people like the ones represented on this board, I would say yes, but I fear that at least half of this nation would not meet that standard.

The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
