Economic Danger, Political Failure, Debt and A New Hope

 

By Reginald Kaigler

    It's early 2021 and the republic (if I can still call it that) is on the verge of economic failure. D.C. is preparing to create an additional $1.9 trillion stimulus the COVID relief. This COVID stimulus, like the the second one, will have little to do with COVID. It's a CYA bill for the damage that the Democratic governors inflicted on the U.S. economy when they forcefully shut down industry and businesses with COVID restrictions.

    The ensuing job loss and economic destruction has left millions of Americans in a perilous situation. Evictions, foreclosures, car repossessions, domestic violence, decline in childhood education, and suicides are symptoms of the social and economic damage that government policy inflicted.

    The nation is being lead by a man who is clearly in mental decline. U.S. President Biden was caught on video saying that he didn't know what he was signing while he was signing executive offers.

    Both chambers of the U.S. Congress is being lead by a Democratic Party that has given in to the radical wing. The Democratic Party has long abandoned common sense and logic. Why would you impeach a president that is no longer the damn president. It's like a manger calling security to remove employee who was fired and left the building 3 weeks ago. Should this be the top priority of the Democratic Party when the country on the verge of economic collapse?

    The Republican Party is equally useless. What good is a political party that refuses to stand by its own leader? For example, U.S. Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) voted to convict former President Donald J. Trump after the impeachment trial. But earlier he said that he believed that it was unconstitutional to impeach a former president. How can you convict a person when you also believe that the trial is unconstitutional?

    7 Republican U.S. senators voted to convict Trump of a crime in which there is no physical evidence. So the Republican Party is also a party devoid of common sense and logic. The GOP is a party of RINO (Republicans in name only). Many of these people have no principles. Why is Alaska's Lisa Murkowski still in the U.S. Senate? Senator Susan Collins (from Maine)? Mitt Romney (from Utah) seems more motivated by attacking Trump than helping the people. These are the usual suspects.  

At least there is some hope at the state level. The North Carolina Republicans censured Senator Burr for his foolish act. I think he was the only GOP senator to get censured by his state party. 

So what can we expect from the rest of 2021? The current situation doesn't look good. 

Here's the bad:

Two useless political parties

Stimulus that we can't afford

Damaged economy

President with questionable legitimacy

Big tech censorship 

Texas power grid collapse

Dollar will be devalued

U.S. Debt is out of hand

Ammo scarcity

Here's the good:

COVID cases are dropping (steeply)

Some retails state the the ammo scarcity might get better by Sept 2021

People are recognizing the Big Tech censorship and looking for alternatives

Half of Trump supporters say that they would abandon the GOP if Trump formed a new party.

Many people see the truth about the 2021 election

    The bad news is that the U.S. will likely experience some pain, because of the debt and the resulting inflation. The good news is that the U.S. might have an opportunity to form a new populist (right) party that would provide the middle class with some honest representation in D.C. Perhaps the 2020 election will reveal the true nature of the corrupt system to tens of millions of Americans. We've talked about a third party for years. Perhaps now is the time. 

    I think COVID cases will be low enough by Sept 2021 that  most of us will be able to walk into stores without wearing a mask. When I picked up some ammo at Rural King last week, I was told the the company will be releasing a limited amount of ammo on a periodic basis until Sept 2021. So I expect .45 ACP, 9mm, 556 and 308 to be well stocked at most gun stores by Oct 2021. As far as the economy, I think we'll be dealing with some painful inflation for at least two years. Perhaps a new political party will push for a gold-backed currency. Am I seeing 2021 through a pair of rose-colored glasses?
