There were no locks on the doors. In the summer we left the screen door, no lock but a hook just to make sure it didn't blow open and let some furry varmint into the house. Keys were left in the vehicles, so we wouldn't misplace them.
What does all this have to do with politics? Have we been on a path to socialism the last 50 years, faking prosperity so the masses would willingly go along? If the deficit has been increasing all that time what would it mean to you? To me a deficit budget means you are building something based on nothing, which does catch up at some point. You keep hoping the deficit will earn more points, thus bring wealth, but somehow the points get channelled to the few pulling the strings.
What is our point of reconciliation going to look like? I fear we are about to find out.
As a nation, we are going to balance our books, not just our wealth either. What have we learned and where are we going? Have we ignored our banker, as though he doesn't exist, hoping we can keep going our own way, altering the laws, make it up as we go along. That seems to be the game we are playing now.
My opinion is that we are pushing our limits as far as we can. But when we weaken our base, the whole thing crumbles. What do you call the base of America/Canada/Australia/England/etc?
