over and over again that we are no longer a democracy. I agree. This country has become an embarassment and has set all of us back a hundred years in attitudes. Greed rules. Think back to the bailout of the banks during the great recession. You didn't see that happen for those in trouble with their home loans. Sad, sad, sad.
