While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
education and energy, the IRS, the EPA, etc. -- by
a vote of "no confidence." -- j
and that it would be fun trying to figure out which
were worth keeping. . reminds me of the old business
recovery model -- fire 'em all and hire back only
those actually needed! -- j
We are being played. By experts. And we continue to fall for it. That is the real message of the midterms!
"People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think. Don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome."
"What (politicians) say and what takes place ain't ever exactly been similar."
"Come a day there won’t be room for naughty men like us to slip about at all."
"A year from now, ten, they'll swing back to the belief that they can make people…better. And I do not hold to that. So no more running."

It's up to all of us to stop their meddling now.
"The future is worth fighting for."

Oh. Uh, move along. Nothing to see here.
Put ourselves back on gold, repute all outside debt, kick the UN and all foreign operations except embassies of our soil, and tell the rest of them to go pound sand. We could break China in less than 5 years if we barred manufacturing of our products in their country.
Next step, restore this country's individual liberty and rights and look forward.
Can you imagine any other way as long as we remain on fiat money and try to stay tied to everybody else's money systems?
I sure want to hear of another option, but the politicos never really cut anything. So will the world wait centuries while we pile up more red ink? Will somebody in Washington actually make cuts sufficient to hold the wolves off our backs?
The fiction of Galt waiting for the collapse and a chance to rebuild seems all to real. :(
Would you agree that Galt did not "instigate" the collapse? The government did that. Galt and others just refused to put any effort in slowing down the fall. In "failure analysis terminology": root causes were the policies and the prevailing ideology. Would you agree?
I want to be optimistic. Really I do, but I will not hold my breath waiting. And, in the mean, I intend to do all I can to live without their shackles. They ruined this nation's liberty and ran up the debt. Let them restore it and pay for it.
I am deeply sorry to say it, but the nation ruined itself. They elected the early progressives ... and FDR ... and LBJ ... and OB. (Please note that OB is diametrically opposite of OA.) I see no law in natural reality which says that Americans cannot be forced to live at the living standard of, say, Bangladeshis. Perhaps after a reign of terror that converts to ash and fumes all families with net worth of $20K and up (in today currency values). Similar things have happened before in this world.
There are many of us that did not vote those statist progressives in. The biggest tragedy is that we cannot extricate ourselves from the conditions they forced upon us. The greatest injustice will be when we are forced to suffer the consequences that may end as you have suggested.
Respectfully,

Another injustice, in my view, is the deliberate keeping in ignorance the majority of the voters. Why do you think all tyrannies ban many books? Why did the founders place the freedom of speech and the freedom of press so high? Few things infuriate me as much as seeing all this "political correctness" imposed at universities. Adults who cannot stand being told in the face that they are wrong. How I despise them!
Equally respectfully,
Maritimus
Indeed. Today we see how the MSM has been corrupted by these same staist, progressives and keep most of us in the dark. The lack of coverage so far by most, of Professor Gruber's comments regarding the stupidity and ignorance of the electorate and its advantage for passing O'care is a timely example. Another is the intimidation and conviction of Dinesh D'Souza. It is clear that others on the "right" side of this administration would not have been treated so.
Regards,
O.A.
