The train is approaching for a collision and many do not see it coming.
I am not sure why nobody speaks about this, but much of the problem of our economy and system of government is that money runs the electorate through huge Lobbying efforts and spiraling campaign contributions. Thomas Jefferson said that if Lobbying was allowed it would be the end of Democracy. This has slowly occurred since the Original Constitution was signed. It did not allow Lobbying and had fixed term limits which have also been changed. How is it that we have Congressmen and women who have been in for multiple terms and when they finally retire often become Lobbyists, only fueling the demise of democracy. We need a change with Leaders who are willing to tackle the problem of a fiat currency, spiraling Debt, and perpetual funding of a war machine while the electorate is ignored.

Honestly I don’t know how the US has avoided collapse this long.
