The hesitancy of some in Congress to not vote for the BBB shows how ensnared our nation is to government money, and how unwilling we are to sacrifice now for a better future.
Great article but unfortunately the US Govt. and the "State" (the Deep one or otherwise) are like some great machine that all of us are attached to. There is no way to turn it off without damaging some group of people, people who are represented a Congress person who is ostensibly part of the operation of this machine, but in reality all they are like a car owner who knows the care needs regular maintenance but all they are capable (or willing) to do is change the oil, fuel it up and change the tires when they get worn down or one is blown. In other words our nation is run by a bunch of people who know how to operate it but not how to fix it. So they just let it run on and on and on, knowing full well that it will conk out at some time, but hoping they will not be behind the wheel when it does.
