"'My neighbors don't like me. I have a " feel the Bern " sticker on my car.,So, without going too far off the rails, I know, am friends with, and work with lots of people who wanted Bernie. But I disagree with them strongly.
I like you already. 👍"
I see most politicians as con-men. They make great big promises, promises that can't possibly be kept, but as long as they get their cut (money, power) they'll work to keep the con going. (Some may have actually deluded themselves into believing their own rhetoric, but that doesn't make it true)
To me, we are living way beyond our means, kicking the payments can down the road; nobody wants to make the tough choices- where there are cuts across the board (including large reductions in government payrolls).
So the time will come when we will have no choices, there will be crushing budget cuts because no one will lend us the money to postpone it further, and those who are truly needy will suffer most.
It's our fault, all of us, for allowing this to happen.
