What is the point? You break my stuff while I break your stuff and the poor are left cleaning up all the broken stuff. They should show this in Congress before every war spending bill comes up.

along with our Euro Partners is growing ever worse. Cold War with Russia and China added to the mix.

We are living in perilous times. And generations have forgotten what "World War" looks like because they don't see the bodies coming home and the Independent Contractors aren't mentioned. Yet Millions are dead, homeless, separated from family or business/livlihood and living in detention camps or scraping up money to try to flee--taken advantage of by unscrupulous people who promise them freedom by "other methods" where they drown or die trying to escape.

We have opened a Pandora's Box with our failed Foreign Policy and it gets worse day by day....

Yet, few seem to notice or care because we are into another election cycle when the last one has barely passed...just as the ones before seem to overlap in our memory.

How much longer can this go on? How much longer can we and Eurozone sustain the unsustainable?
