All the reasons why we are circling the drain, and due to go "blurp" in Q4 if things don't change.

It's only a matter of time. What they are doing makes it nearly impossible to NOT be a deliberate attempt to crash the US economy. Nobody is that stupid. Then again, look who we are talking about.

Yep, it's Bush Jr's administration all over again and then some. Housing bubble, record high lumber and steel prices, record trade deficit, high unemployment, high gas prices and shortages, heavy inflation....

It's certainly not the time to start rolling out the freebies is it? Does make you wonder...

Funny how we keep getting the impression that Republicans actually want Biden to 'Fail' (although their strategy of waging 'Destruction' does sound kinda 'familiar'...)?!

John Boehner, the likely speaker if Republicans take the House, offering his plans for Obama’s agenda: “We're going to do everything — and I mean everything we can do — to kill it, stop it, slow it down, whatever we can.”

It’s like the Carter administration again, only without the good music.

It's not that we want Biden to fail. It's just that this country is SOOOOO divided on political viewpoints, it's scary....really scary. Dems believe in Apples and Republicans believe in Oranges. I'm not sure we can ever come up with a compromise or a happy medium.


Fact of the matter is our government is being stretched to capacity. The American people are now asking our government to do things it was never designed to handle. The government is not your baby sitter. We are at a point where if folks are in trouble, they look (and now demand) the government bail them out of whatever woes they may be suffering from. As a result, personal accountability has been thrown out the window. Unless things change, our government and nation will simply collapse, probably sooner than later. It's like driving your car at 8000 rpm after you haven't changed the oil in three years.


Problem is people are selfish. Both parties stand on top of their soapboxes fully confident that that they have all the solutions to peoples problems. Newsflash, they don't.

Sadly, it's going to take some type of huge disaster to bring this nation back to square one. Equally sad, I don't think we are too far away from said disaster to happen. Fact of the matter is we can't continue with our current level of division. Something has to give.
