America is getting eaten alive from the inside.

On the outside, US persistent involvement in foreign wars is undermining the mighty dollar and destroying our credibility as defender of freedom. Those wars have opened our borders to the influx of refugees to be naturalized and recruited as voters for seizing the reigns of government. It is the same playbook used by the State Department to bring about regime change in every country we meddled with.

Welfare state operations had a systemic history of fraud going way back. What’s exceptional about this kind of fraud isn’t how it was done, but the scale that it has become. Now, billions are stolen in a short amount of time. That’s the tip of the iceberg. The iceberg is that they’re doing many of the same things that are routine in every city, many towns and even rural areas. Once the welfare state sets up shop, distinct groups emerge, along with community groups to take advantage of it. Why do you really think so many bloc votes go to Dems? Because they give them things. Because they buy their way into a community, pay out to their leaders who then set up welfare shops to recruit people to vote for them. That’s what a welfare state really means. The size of the legal welfare state is eating our economy and country alive as it foments our own internecine strife: you against me over every goddam thing we hate about each other.

Your observations are correct of course.. And the nature of the problem isnt within the Left or the Right. They have both been bought with donations from the rich corporations who provide all those materials, goods and services and rip off the government and the individuals requiring assistance. The insurance industry, The health care providers like Hospitals, Big Pharma all make major profits, are subsidised and pay shareholders handsome dividends, while shorting the people they are supposed to serve, without oversight or regulation..😷

@sree251 The lifeboat is an exit from the US. Sure, you will be sailing into uncertain times..But choose a location far away with an economy not dependent on America and your kids will have a future. Thats how migration works..😷

Getting out of the US won't save me from a global implosion. The 1929 economic depression swept the world and no country was left untouched. This time around, such an upheaval will trigger a world war. Even Australia will be impacted; especially when you have nuclear submarines deployed for attack on China. Why in the world would you guys stick your necks out for?

@sree251 Dealing with the last part first. You dont seriously believe Australia is ever going to see any of those American subs. Do you? All the promises in the world arent going to magically double the production of the sub building shipyards that are already behind producing subs for America. And we only needed them because America wanted us to patrol those waters for them as a cost cutting measure for America. In my opinion, if you wanted us to do the job, you should donate the subs. But we will probably end up with the French or Japanese ones. Unless we can pick up used US ones in the garage sale for cents on the dollar after the $US collapses. Now back to the central point.
There are many differences between the 1930s Depression and what is coming. First, America is not the engine of the world any more. China is already challenging for the crown and both China and India have started to modernise and Capitalise their economies, with internal growth of 5% and 7% respectively this last year. Way more than anyone else.These countries both dwarf America for local market growth and for production capacity. And the recent decoupling that Trumps stupidity has started with other nations like Canada and Japan and the forging of new deals through the expanding BRICS trade group means that while everyone will suffer slowed group or minor recessions, America will be isolated, detached and almost completely without support. Lets face the truth. While America has military might. Its might to fight a global conflict no one can win..And they will shortly lose the prized economic weapon of the reserve currency.. Soon America will need to find a way to pay for everything it imports.. And boy, will taht open some eyes in America..😷

@sree251 Certainly not the upper class or the country wouldn't be in steep decline for 50+ years now
