Sure, in a society or any closed system, seemingly unconnected events can be related to one another and, if you really think about it, you can really see narratives when billions of dollars spent on overseas wars either aren't available to deal with a local crisis when it happens or weren't available to prevent that crisis before it did, but...<BR/><BR/>...dude...<BR/><BR/>We don't DO that in America any more. Every issue is separate. Social Security is running out of money while we're going into debt to fund a foreign invasion? You can't talk about Social Security and War at the same time!<BR/><BR/>See, for six years, we've had a NEW way of discussing the issues and that way is, "every issue for itself!" Every issues exists in its own bubble. You can't cut one expenditure to fund another. You can't drop one policy in favor of another. You can't prioritize at all.<BR/><BR/>Well, one exception... you CAN cut liberal programs in order to find money to fund conservative goals.<BR/><BR/>But that's it! Everything else is an isolated issue.<BR/><BR/>Please adhere to this new way of thinking in the future.Mike M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14716539792698477275noreply@blogger.com
