The Cult of the Presidency – LewRockwell

The real beneficiaries of Obamacare were the insurance companies, those who got it for free, and legions of federal employees including the politicians.
The day after Obamacare was passed, big insurance companies stocks became much more valuable, follow the money 💰. Those without insurance were happy to get free insurance, that somebody else paid for. As we all know, nothing that comes from the government is free. The politicians and federal employees were exempt from Obamacare. So they did not see their out of pocket expense go up and their coverage reduced, like the rest of us.
I do give Trump some credit here in trying to fix this mess. As for Obama, he and his family have health insurance for free. They do not have the very healthcare he sold to the rest of us that bears his surname. Talk about irony.

The question of the Democrats to win in 2020 by constantly investigating Trump and links to Putin while they blame Putin for releasing emails that exposed the corruption within the Democrats is coming up in spades. While the USA has been warning everyone not to deal with Venezuela, Russia then has to step in and agree to ship 20 tons of gold out of the country. Putin is only doing this because the Democrats have deliberately sacrifice all relations with Russia simply to score point domestically against Trump. Not only has every president tried to work for world peace since World War II, but just about every Miss America has said when contending for the crown she prays for world peace. There is an anger that has consumed the people and the politicians. It is even self-evidence in sports. The San Francisco 49’ers use to dominate the sports league. Most people admired them. They use to look up to stars like the Chicago Bulls and the great Michael Jordan. Today, the Patriots have replaced the 49’ers but they are probably the most hated team in history. This attitude is reflected in politics as well. Just because the person you voted for lost the presidency, there was none of this “he’s not my president” stuff. We accepted the lost and moved on. Those days are simply gone. Regardless who wins in 2020, you can bet on one thing. They losing side will NEVER accept the loss. Violence will grow and spread. We will see the average person unwilling to actually accept democracy. This rising anger is clearly growing between the USA and Russia. The latest Gallop Poll shows that 72% of Democrats hate Russia and it’s all about Hillary’s emails. This is very serious for against that type of bias lies the easy step to war and they will think it is justified especially when the economy turns down.

It seems that the Russians are the scapegoat for the failed thinking of the Democratic Party. They put up a candidate with more baggage than Sansomite , with a hard to like personality, seemingly with some obvious health problems, and they lose to a political outsider. The deep state, liberals, leftists, women’s groups, Wall Street, the corporate media establishments, big tech, big pharma, the war hawks, and the establishment Republicans all wanted her to win.
The torrent of hatred toward Trump shown by these same entities is unprecedented in my lifetime. This is just more proof that denial is not just a river in Egypt. Hillary’s supporters wanted more of the same. Trump and Congress are still spending record amounts of money and spiking the national debt to even higher levels.
I would say in regard to the debt and government spending, we have gotten more of the same. You can’t drain the swamp by continuing to feed it. “The government is like a dragon 🐉,the more you feed it, the bigger it gets, it will never get smaller” Lao Tsu

I think the debate is healthy. One angle that was missed here is that a governments actions seldom reflect the wishes of its people. Especially in the Middle East. So to say that Iran, China, or Turkey , ‘for a few examples’, will not act in a certain way because of their diverse populations is not correct. Those countries are run by Dictators who do what they please without a healthy public debate about what should be done.
Not that the corrupt Western governments are much better, but there is at least a thin veneer of openness and debate. JohnBarleycorn

This is the issue that will eventually bring this country to its knees. This is more money than people can fathom, let alone the interest we pay on it. Politicians are still spending more money than we take in, and this will end badly.
The only way out for all of these countries with massive debt like ours will either be a default or the globalist banking cabal creating a global currency and forgiving all debt. Either way this ends badly, especially for the most vulnerable. JohnBarleycorn
