America Divided

306>232...Reality...time to accept it. What is the alternative?

I will say again….Joe Biden is the sworn in, confirmed POTUS. I don know how that can be ambiguous to you.

And that means Trump lost, right?

This should be fun.

Someone who is honest enough to admit that our government no longer works and will take steps to rein it in.

Spending is out of control, entire departments need to be eliminated; our educational system is intellectual pedophilia and must be dealt with accordingly; traitors need to be dealt with so that a clear and unequivocal message is sent.

That's a start

As to reining in our national absurd spending addiction, I stumbled upon this:

Not surprisingly, Elder makes some great points.

As to the "entitlement" portion, even Democrats over the years called the spending "unsustainable."

Former President Barack Obama once called these programs unsustainable. In March 2013, "Politico" wrote, "(Obama) also warned that Democrats need to embrace at least some changes to unsustainable entitlement programs in order to achieve their long-term priorities."

Former President Bill Clinton, in his January 1996 State of the Union speech, said: "We know big government does not have all the answers. We know there's not a program for every problem. We have worked to give the American people a smaller, less bureaucratic government in Washington. And we have to give the American people one that lives within its means. The era of big government is over."

About Clinton's speech, Paul Light, New York University professor of public service, later wrote: "Clinton would have been much more accurate to say that the era of big government was continuing pretty much unabated. And that is precisely what the vast majority of Americans want." Exactly. Most voters don't much care about the national debt, budget deficits or whether the federal budget is balanced.
