1/3
Most people see the symptoms.
A police cruiser at a $200 road job.
Tent cities that grow while spending explodes.
Addiction and mental-health systems that take billions and still deliver poor results.
A national debt that took 192 years to hit $1 trillion and only 45 years to reach $37 trillion.
I see the architecture.
Same design logic at every level: local rules that protect the connected, federal programs that reward caseloads over exits, a cultural shift that weakened the older institutions of restraint, and a political system that pushes the bill into the future through debt.
More money has been tried. The data show the core problems did not close. That is not a funding shortage. It is a design failure.
The Founding generation treated debt as temporary and self-government as the default. We inverted both.
Seeing the pieces is common.
Seeing how they lock together is rarer — and more useful.

@jeffferg843@1Nicdar The strong delusion is upon them.
Hardened hearts.
Calling evil good and good evil.
Pay attention things get real intersting here on out.
The Word
But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,
2by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron,
3men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth. (1 Timothy 4:1–3, NASB95, https://t.co/dHAMmGMQra)
American who uses a wheelchair to get around has been informed by social security that she is cured and no longer eligible to receive benefits
“Y'all are never going to believe this. I just got the best news ever from Social Security in the mail. They told me, which I think is a little weird, they told me that my disability has ended. I am no longer disabled”
The reason why is because she earns over $1,450 from working
There is something called a Substantial Gainful Activity rule in social security. If you earn over a certain amount from working it disqualifies you
This is not new. This rule has always been apart of the social security program
There is a very obvious flaw in this system. Rent prices and cost of living is so expensive, most people can’t live on just SS. But the limits on job income to disqualify you are very low
This means it keeps people trapped in this low income level and many people are disabled and should be given the help
Americans don’t see the point of eating out anymore, quality has plummeted and prices are outrageous
“I think I'm almost done with eating out. Every time we do, I feel like I'm just underwhelmed by the food, and I am overwhelmed by how much it costs”
She explains she just got 2 burgers, 2 fries and 2 shakes. It was $70…..
“$70 — and it wasn't even good. It literally was not even good — It wasn't good at all. Not at all. Never again”
This is something so many Americans are posting about before it’s true. Food in America is noticeably worse basically everywhere than it used to be
Everywhere you go it’s like $50-$100 bucks, there’s no escaping it and the quality is not there
@zerohedge It's almost like someone wakes up on the hill and says,
"hey how can we screw this all up even more".
And the next day a friend says,
"hold my beer".
A beurocratic groundhogs day nightmare except its the citizens sitting in the cab going over the fiscal cliff.
