#1 depends on who writes history

and, btw, the Modern Monetary Theory devotees are not conceding anything --- blaming inflation on 'unique and unforeseeable circumstances.

#4 Reminds me when Barney Frank went up in front of committee and 'testified against the bank bailouts' even though he was right in the middle of it, to be in front of the story.

#5 Allowing Biden to take office was the extraordinary policy mistake of American history -- one the USA may not survive. Many once respected US institutions had their hand in that mistake of all mistakes.

#6 Spend, spend, spend,"President Biden approves $800M in artillery, helicopters for Ukraine". Every week and where is he getting all this money. I wonder how Biden trickle down economics will work.

#7 News for you Bubba, the old republic died decades ago. The concentration of power has far exceeded the point where it can be saved. We're at the point where the Founders wrote Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.
We might get a second republic but only through blood and tears cause those with the power will not go willingly.
