7. Well, I have to agree

whatever they're calling a "miracle" is not visible in this end of Montana, and I think I might be in a more economically successful area. I see a lot of businesses and individuals losing in a major way. One thing I have been seeing is that many have embraced their greed and are now facing the fact that they have overpriced themselves into a hole, and they we're not prepared for the consequences because greed follows the greedy. When you have a government creating policy and law favoring greed and wealth by ill-gotten gains, everyone will adapt to the behavior that appears to bring success in acquiring that social level.

When wealth is the ideal and money the vehicle to get there and the race is on to get there... greed is the the ethical guideline which eliminates the need for morality.

And we can see, from our front porch - for those of us lucky enough to have housing - where it has gotten us.

I'm ready, have been for decades, for major changes in how we go about governing ourselves and how we fund it. The Constitution is still valid and our lasting guidance, needs some updating in some places regarding changes in the world but the basics should never be altered. I have been adversely affected by each R administration since Nixon and I'm sick and tired of this march to destruction for the sake of restoring empires.
