For years we have discussed the many failings of the American political class. Politicians at just about any level of government in this country have failed in so many ways to execute even the simplest tasks. Our politicians waste tax money, say stupid things, act immorally or criminally, create divisions in this country, and almost always go about enriching themselves, their families, and their political supporters.
And while these actions are frustrating, infuriating, and wasteful of our hard earned tax dollars, it seems that these politicians have never been such a failure in every perspective at the same time. And this time their failures have endangered the lives and likelihoods of millions of people in this country and across the world.
Consider the world we are trying to survive as a result of our politicians' failures:
- Inflation is at a 40 year high.
- Mortgage rates are at a 20 year high.
- Gas prices are about 50% higher than they were two years ago.
- At any time, there are likely 500,000 to 600,000 homeless Americans in this country, millions of hungry Americans, and thousands of Americans that are fighting addictions of all types.
- Violent crime rates are skyrocketing across dozens of American cities, resulting in higher and higher homicide rates.
- Washington DC politicians have incurred a $31 TRILLION national debt, debt that comes out to about a $93,000 debt liability for EVERY America including infants and kids.
- Despite $31 TRILLION in national debt, our country's infrastructure (roads, dams, bridges) is falling apart.
- Despite $31 TRILLION in national debt, our public schools continue to under educate our kids.
- Despite $31 TRILLION in national debt, millions of Americans have little or no effective health insurance.
- Despite $31 TRILLION in national debt, Social Security is hurtling towards financial collapse,
- Despite $31 TRILLION in national debt, Medicare is hurtling towards financial collapse.
- Our southern border is being overrun by millions of illegal immigrants many of which involve criminal gangs, drug cartel members, sex and children traffickers, and potential terrorists.
- Our porous southern border has allowed tons of fentanyl to freely flow into this country, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans.
- World War III is now a real possibility in Europe as the Russian invasion of Ukraine spirals out of control, a world war that might be nuclear.
- China is edging towards invading Taiwan.
- North Korea and South Korea are lobbing missiles near each other.
- Iran and Saudi Arabia are getting closer and closer to war.
