It just keeps seeming more and more like 1930's Germany. 2020 is critical; four more years of this BS and the damage to our global prestige and economy could be irreparable. Trump's base think everything is fine because their investments are doing OK and unemployment is down so far but they don't see that it is a monstrous bubble and unsustainable if the deficit keeps rising. It takes some belt tightening to whip that back down and that is not popular with the voting masses. It may feel good right now and win elections but we will pay dearly down the road when social security, medicare, etc. are cut back to cover the problem. And that is where the GOP makes the cuts, with things that help our own people. They won't make cuts with military spending, corporate tax breaks, benefits for the rich, money handed to overseas pals like the Saudi royals, funds diverted to Trump's stupid wall, etc. It beggars belief how ordinary Americans can support the GOP when that party is consistently against anything that benefits the regular guy on the street. They are the party of big business, corporate America, and banking and insurance, big pharma, and anything else that puts money in their pockets under the table. One small example is how they are hell-bent against ObamaCare, pretty much solely because it takes a bite out of medical insurance profits and helps people with pre-existing conditions. They have all sorts of supposed reasons but it is all smoke screen to cover their real objections. The insurance industry is the biggest and most powerful lobby in the country. It is legal stealing. American insurance of every type pays out, on average, less that 3 cents for every dollar they take in premiums. Our premiums support vast networks of tens of thousands of people sitting in cushy offices drawing huge salaries with full benefits, all the way up to the CEOs at the top make millions a year, sometimes hundreds of millions. That is just one example. Then there are military contractors, the countless huge corporations drawing tax dollars to make the proverbial $1000. pairs of socks and $500. nuts and bolts for our forces. The list goes on. But listen to the Republicans scream about government spending when it comes to any social program that helps people in poverty or other distress. We are sadly an extremely uneducated and shallow culture, with a population easily swayed by rhetoric and led by the nose, all too similar to cattle and sheep led dumbly into a slaughterhouse.
