Exactly my reason for starting this tread.
Our elected officials are leading us there and could give a #^&#^&#^&#^& what happens.
They have made the rules and all have made themselves rich in the process and will be fine when the #^&#^&#^&#^& hits the fan !

and those that elect them apparently...interesting to note the reactions of the usual suspects who fancy themselves far more compassionate, better educated...more capable of looking at issues in a balanced way without bias and deft at making intelligent judgments(unlike the rest of us).....bad jokes, denial, sarcasm....67 shootings and 11 murders in Chicago -IN ONE WEEKEND - "pffft...Chicago will never be Baltimore"....

when faced with the obvious fact that the policies they espouse have failed miserably in maintaining the government that they seek to grow perpetually and administer in their high minded way or in helping the people whose lives they were supposed to improve and at least maintain with a safety net but are now left in little more than ruin, squalor and human suffering...they suddenly lose their "compassion" and become quite snarky

they will never look at Detroit or the next city to fail and recognize the failure of their policies but rather simply a shortfall in funding of their brilliant policies which can't possibly be wrongheaded being built on compassion and superior intellect

it's quite insane
