Washington, D.C. is slowly strangling America.  Big government always razes a country because government never stops growing, soaks up increasing amounts of a country’s resources to spend on its own (mostly) useless interests, and thereby gradually impoverishes its people through taxation, inflation, and oppression.  Expandinggovernment robs the people of their freedoms, and the free spirit of man will eventually rebel.  Our Founders warned us incessantly about this, but we never pay any attention to them, and truly, it is in the vested interest of Washington (the Uniparty) NOT to pay attention to them.  The people must be vigilant to protect their freedoms, but sadly, too many people aren’t vigilant, don’t even know what the wordmeans, and thus freedom is ultimately lost.

Our federal government is our number one enemy. I recently saw a Wall Street Journal poll which said that Joe Biden is at the lowest rate of popularity that he has had inhis presidency, the lowest of any modern president, evenworse than Trump and Bush at their minimum. The American people sense that something is dreadfully wrong with our republic, but they aren’t educated enough to understand what it is.  Democrats think it is Republicans and Republicans blame Democrats, and so nothing ever changes.  Setting citizens against each other is one way government tyrants remain in control.   

The two political parties don't care what Americansthink as long as the people continue to send this elite bureaucratic morass to positions of power.  That’s all that matters to virtually every politician.  These politicians, with the bureaucratic offspring they have fathered, have caused most of the conundrums the country faces, and yet they have convinced the majority of the people that government is theonly solution to those very problems politicians/bureaucratshave produced.  It is a con game of gargantuan proportions.

Perhaps these people (Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell, etc.) actually believe that they can solve America’s problems, that you can’t get along without them.  Their media and academic allies certainly drill it, non-stop, into the American mind.  It’s all we hear:  “government can solve your problems.”  Ronald Reagan challenged this thesis,got virtually nowhere, and thus most Americans, who cannot, or will not, think for themselves, have no cause to doubt it.

Whether Leftists such as Democrats truly believe that government can solve all problems is really irrelevant; they want power, that’s their only goal.  They don’t care if any problems are solved or not.  Actually, the more “crises” they can manufacture, the more power they can seize.  “Crisis is the rallying cry of the tyrant,” James Madison said.  Surprise.  Our Founder recognized, over 200 years ago, this principle, and that’s because it has been true all through history.  Destroy history and you can control the people.  Marx said that, and modern-day Leftists DO believe that, and live it.

Thus, since government is the solution to every problem, government will continue to expand in order toplan the people's lives and to solve the problems it generates. This means an ever-increasing bureaucracy. The Soviet Union had a term for it—the “nomenklatura, a cadre of elitists who basically absorbed more and more of the country's resources until eventually the system collapsed due to fiscal irresponsibility.  That was in the lifetime of many Americans living today, but we still haven’t learned the historical lesson.   History teaches us that men learn nothing from history.  

China confronts the same problem. The Chinese Communist party is getting into greater and greater debt mainly because local communist party governments have borrowed so much money to build their infrastructures that Beijing is running into the serious conundrum of having to bail out countless of these local governments who are in such debt that the banking system is liable to collapse at any time. Let’s hope it happens soon.

And we are watching the same disaster befall America as the “Deep State” (nomenklatura) continues to expand and suck up more of America's resources, debilitating theeconomy to its eventual collapse.  This state within a state,above the people, acts upon its own will, its own desires, and it will annihilate America just as surely as the Communist Party in the Soviet Union destroyed that country.  Mr. Trump promises to eradicate the “Deep State,” but he promised that in 2016, too.  How did that work out?  Nobody in history has ever been able to overthrow a bureaucratic monstrosity once it becomes entrenched.  If Trump does it, he will be the first to ever do so.  But, frankly, such is the main reason he probably won’t win this year—the supremely-powerful “Deep State,” the American “nomenklatura,” will never let him near the levers of poweragain if it can help it.  If we think the “people” are in control of electing the President, we are of all men most unenlightened.

Mr. Trump faces a juggernaut of mammoth proportions.  Countless millions hate him, but his biggest obstacle is this “Deep State” which will do anything and everything it can to protect its interests.  The Democratic Party represents absolutely no threat to it, indeed, is doing all it can to enhance and perpetuate its growth.  Uniparty Republicans like Ronna McDaniel and Mitch McConnellalso hold their positions of power and influence due to the “nomenklatura”—they are part of it. Trump’s difficulty is not just the Democratic Party. If the McDaniel wing of the Republican Party truly believes Trump will try to overturnthe “Deep State,” then they will not help him; rather, they will do all they can, subtly, to undermine his campaign and make sure he loses.  Who do you think Mitch McConnell prefers as President—Donald Trump or Joe Biden?  If you say “Trump,” go back to history class.  If you say “Biden,” then you are on your way to understanding what is trulyhappening in America today.
