Does anyone get the feeling that the Smollett, free college, and Epstein stories are just diversions from the real issues of debt, wars, and the police state?

There is so much evidence that the USA is collapsing now that you can't ignore it, but no one does a damn thing.

Something epic is coming like the French Revolution, US Revolution, the Civil War, WWII, or the Soviet collapse.

There is no serious effort to end the wars, reduce the debt, or restore the Bill of Rights. The elites are getting everything they want and the 99% don't care.

Insanity.

Maybe there is no hope, but one wonders if Americans cannot at least make an effort to think of solutions or wake people up so that they can prepare instead of just waiting for a spark that leads to collapse.

Can't anyone say anything?

Why not print up bumper stickers, pass out flyers, protest, go on hunger strikes, rent billboards, or make a website?

Couldn't there be a free market solution to the collapse? Couldn't there be mass awakening? Shouldn't freedom go viral?

Will Communists and Nazis work together to destroy redlight cameras when Civil War 2.0 starts?

The American response to the US collapse is to either be ignorant, be in denial, be hopeless, to blame, or to attack the messenger.

Americans insist everything is just fine.

Americans never blame themselves or take responsibility, and swear that the collapse is not their fault.

Americans will never blame or criticize the government.

Americans are quick to blame China, Russia, libtards, Bush, Obama, homosexuals, Communists, Nazis, blacks, atheists, Christians, Jews, Muslims, feminists, baby boomers, millennials, or illegal immigrants.

Americans scream anyone who loves freedom is a spammer, troll, shill, bot, racist, terrorist, junkie, retard, or nutjob.

Will this decay last forever?

At what point will Americans fly planes into government buildings? When will Americans fire on checkpoints? Traitors who hate the Bill of Rights will pay no price?

What will you do when the stock market crashes?

What will you do when your ATM card doesn't work?

What will you do when the tax rate is 100%?

What will you do when the US debt is $40 trillion?

What will you do when the interest rate is 1 million percent?

What will you do when Social Security checks stop coming?

What will you do when the interest on government debt is more than government revenues?

Do Americans understand that debt is bad?

Are Americans able to comprehend that wars lead to terrorism, tyranny, debt, and refugees?

Do Americans realize that the US used to be a free country?

What will you do when the nuclear bombs fall?

Are Americans just supposed to quietly go to the concentration camps?

Wouldn't Americans be wise to buy seeds, rice, guns, water, and gold today?

The USA has become so bad now that you can't help laughing when anyone says that the US will improve in 2024.

Empires in decline tend to behave badly. Indeed, whether British, French or Russian, the twilight years of imperialism often brought brutal repression of subjects abroad, the suppression of civil liberties at home and general varieties of brutality toward foreigners, be they refugees or migrants.

Aggressive wars abroad pollute the domestic political discourse and breed hypernationalism, racism and xenophobia. The 18 or so years of war following the 9/11 attacks have seen this ostensible republic sink to new lows of behavior.

Aggressive wars of choice have ushered in rampant torture, atrocities in Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison, indefinite detention at Guantanamo Bay, extraordinary rendition, drone assassinations, warrantless wiretapping, mass surveillance of the citizenry.

It’s all connected. The empire — all empires — eventually come home.

You can be damn sure that Clinton won't be in jail, the debt will be higher, the US will still be at war, and Americans will have even less freedom in 2020.

This week, Congress passed a budget calling for increasing federal spending and adding $1.7 trillion to the national debt over the next ten years. Most so-called “fiscal conservatives” voted for this big-spending budget because it allows Congress to repeal some parts of Obamacare via “reconciliation.” As important as it is to repeal Obamacare, it does not justify increasing spending and debt.

It is disappointing, but not surprising, that the Obamacare repeal would be used to justify increasing spending. Despite sequestration’s minor (and largely phony) spending cuts, federal spending has increased every year since Republicans took control of the House of Representatives. Some will attribute this to the fact that the Republican House had to negotiate with a big-spending Democratic president — even though federal spending actually increased by a greater percentage the last time Republicans controlled the White House and Congress than it did under President Obama.

The history of massive spending increases under unified Republican control of government is likely to repeat itself. During the presidential campaign, President-elect Donald Trump came out against reducing spending on “entitlements.” He also called for a variety of spending increases, including spending one trillion dollars on infrastructure.

One positive part of the infrastructure proposals is their use of tax credits to encourage private sector investments. Hopefully this will be the first step toward returning responsibility for building and maintaining our nation’s infrastructure to the private sector.

Unfortunately, the administration appears likely to support increased federal spending on “shovel-ready” jobs. Claims that federal spending helps grow the economy rely on the fallacy of that which is not seen. While everyone sees the jobs and economic growth created by government infrastructure projects, no one sees the greater number of jobs that could have been created had the government not taken the resources out of the hands of private businesses, investors, and entrepreneurs. Despite what some conservatives seem to think, this fallacy applies equally to Republican and Democrat spending.

President-elect Trump has criticized the past two administrations’ reckless foreign policy, and he has publicly shamed the powerful Lockheed Martin company for wasting taxpayer money. Yet, he continues to support increasing the military budget and has called for increased military intervention in the Middle East.

The fact is the United States already spends too much on militarism. Not only does the United States spend more on the military than the combined military budgets of the next eight highest spending countries, but Pentagon waste exceeds the total Russian military budget.

America can no longer afford to waste trillions of dollars on a militaristic foreign policy. Donald Trump should follow-up his attacks on wasteful military spending by dramatically changing our foreign policy and working to cut the Pentagon’s bloated budget.

If the new administration and Congress increase spending, they will need the Federal Reserve to monetize the growing debt. The need for an accommodative monetary policy gives the Federal Reserve and its allies in Congress and in the deep state leverage over the administration. This leverage could be used, for example, to pressure the administration to abandon support for the Audit the Fed legislation.

Fed action can only delay the inevitable day of reckoning. Raising levels of federal spending and debt will inevitably lead to a major economic crisis. This crisis is likely to be reached when concerns over our national debt cause more countries to reject the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency. The only way to avoid this crisis is to stop increasing spending and instead begin reducing spending on all aspects of the welfare-warfare state.

Wow.

Americans have gone stark-raving mad.

Nazis and Communists scream Libertarians care about trifling issues, but Libertarians aren't the ones who who want to regulate teakwood.

Americans say Nazism is the American way because Communism killed more people.

Americans scream Libertarians support forcing every American to have mandatory credit debt.

Americans swear remaining quiet is the answer to tyranny.

Americans say anyone opposed to TSA groping is an Anarchist.

Americans scream Libertarians are Commies.

Americans insist owning tigers must be illegal because tigers will go extinct, but people now own cats and dogs. Do pet owners have a vested interest in killing their own cats and dogs?

Americans are so retarded today that they say shoes are made by the government.

Americans say US schools have always portrayed the USSR as a paradise.

Americans say they want to live in a bankrupt warmongering police state because having a nuclear superpower would be safer than having 3000 small countries.

Americans insist that you are still moral when you cheat on your wife if you are not bisexual.

Americans scream self-serve gas should be illegal to keep gas prices high.

Americans have become so batshit insane now that they insist anyone wearing a costume, badge, and a gun is a holy god, but do the Gestapo ever make mistakes?

Why should anyone care if you own guns, use prostitutes, go to church, or smoke?

Have Americans ever read a history book before?

Americans have become such pussified snowflakes now that they beg their beloved government overlords to protect them from scary illegal immigrants and guns.

The USA had open borders before, why not now? Do you really think that the US never had black people before today?

If banning guns will stop people from shooting others, will outlawing murder stop homicides?

The government regulates airlines, but do airplanes still crash?

Americans are simply unable to understand that decrees have unintended consequences.

China used to say all birds must be killed, but then insects multiplied and lead to starvation.

China used to say that the population must grow, but population growth lead to a one child policy. Now China doesn't have enough young people and the sex ratio is lopsided because boys outnumber girls.

Americans start wars and are then stunned that there are refugees, terrorism, tyranny, and debt.

The US bans business and then Americans are shocked when homelessness increases.

The US starts a trade war and then Americans are completely dumbfounded that no one buys US exports and prices soar.

Americans say coffee must be banned because it is dangerous, but what if an expert wrote a study saying coffee is safe?

Could there possibly be any other way to other way to help the environment besides arresting users of straws?

Americans scream seatbelts must be mandatory because accidents raise insurance costs, but if insurance rates are so important then why not ban skydiving, rope, swimming pools, and ladders, too?

Americans say that the government should tell you what color to paint your house because property values might decrease, but whose home is it? Do you realize that if the Gestapo can tell your neighbor to remove his garden, the Gestapo could tell you to get rid of your flag?

Do Americans who hate freedom feel like traitors?
