When you live or follow a life of lies, you accumulate hidden debt.

The Trump presidency has been a complete lie. Trump supporters, Republicans in congress are blindly following a lie. There is no way to measure the amount of hidden debt the American people have accumulated. There is no way to tell what the bill will be when it comes due. There will be a bill to pay for living a lie.

Soon Trump will go on trial and there is a good chance he will not be convicted. That will be a massive lie which will add on to the hidden debt the American people foolishly have built.

Unfortunately, and I have said this before, It may take the payment of the hidden debt of living a lie to change what is happening to our country. The payment may be severe. Payment may be the only thing that can wake the American people up.

The good news is, if the payment is severe, our lives are ruined, our country damaged, the American people will rebuild and our country will be better than it is now.

that is has a Measurable Value. We have lost Trillions if one considers it in a monetary value. And that will take decades to recoup.

Memories are long and forgiveness has to be earned.

I know it's a-historical in the way it is presented. But it has a ring of truth to it, and it seems to me, this is our moment to pay for lies. If not now, soon.

stop and reassess the damage and how to fix it. We also have a credibility vacuum created by the wild assertions and the response to them by the Siberian Candidate. We are on a path to become monetarily and morally bankrupt.
How many lives have to be ruined, families broken and suicides will it take for people to ignore the self destructive rhetoric coming from right wing propaganda? We can do better, and we must.
