yes, indeed. We're see a Congress that is so incapable of governing that more and more our Presidents are ruling by decree to the extent that the checks and balances are allowing them to. And more and more they are finding ways around those checks and balances. We're in terminal decline in most of our institutions. There is no justice in this country. The rich and powerful go unprotected, whether its the bankers that destroyed our economy or politicians like Hillary. The Legislative branch is a disaster on both sides of the aisle. They get paid to do nothing but grandstand. They don't even pass laws anymore that any American cares about. The things we need like a working healthcare system, they are totally incompetent at creating. Our Presidency ends up doing the only thing it can, which is to wage war. We're in endless wars with everyone, which has impoverished the country and for which we see no benefits. This country has become totally incompetent and it happened stunningly fast. I put that turning point date at 9/11/2001. We were at our peak prior to that. Now we are in decline, probably terminally.
