We must act today in order to preserve tomorrow. And let there be no misunderstanding: We are going to begin to act, beginning today. The economic ills we suffer have come upon us over several decades.
They will not go away in days, weeks, or months, but they will go away.
They will go away because we as Americans have the capacity now, as we’ve had in the past, to do whatever needs to be done to preserve this last and greatest bastion of freedom.

A Republican said that in early 1981. Now, he didn’t mean these sentiments the way I mean them. Hell, no.
The American right, so wrongly named, confuses protections with regulations. (There’s only so much pie for ALL these people.)
I normally blame Demented Ronald Reagan when he followed those sentences with “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” That is sub-asinine in its reverse intelligence.
And all we’ve heard for the last forty-three (43) years is how messed up the government is. Ergo, MAGA.
Sometimes, I blame the women who had sex with Young Republicans For Goldwater back in 1964. But it was a different time and besides I wasn’t allowed to join, as I didn’t own a madras shirt with matching madras wallet, belt and watchband.
Did you ever stop to think how hard this life in this world right now would be if we all had the same goals and pulled together? Oooh, Think I just gave myself a tingle. America is in such a mess, the mere thought of national unity – the good kind – almost got a chubby.
Anyway, I start to worry when I hear the same words come out of Justice Alito’s mouth in a ‘secret’ recording when he is about to decide on Presidential immunity, as I worry when the same words come out of grubby Steve Bannon’s grizzled yap he is about to wattle into Federal prison for refusing to answer questions under oath about the January 6th Coup Attempt. That ‘peaceful tourist visit,’ complete with gallows.
“One side or the other is going to win,” canoodled the justice. “I mean, there can be a way of working – a way of living together peacefully, but it’s difficult, you know, because there are differences on fundamental things that really can’t be compromised. It’s not like you can split the difference.”
The difference is fundamental.
You can see the problem is right there in the word – my side is fun and their side is mental.
