I think this is appropriate:

"For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. The standing grain has no heads; it shall yield no flour; if it were to yield, strangers would devour it."

I know what you're talking about with regard to government. There is actually have a word for it, it is called "constructive conservatism." It is what slowed Nixon down.

But as you know, I worry about the poor and the disadvantaged. Now that the Republicans control Congress the presidency and will control the Supreme Court for 30 years, they are going to start slashing every social program we have that helps make the society better and stronger.

I am worried about the people in my society.
