>Please don't misunderstand me, I don't believe for a second that conservatives can heal the debt situation. Far from it as proven when they were given the reins. We're in a decline and the end is known to any who've studied the history of republics. The question is when. The present leaders in DC and Europe are at best going to slow the decline and at worst accelerate it. I would prefer those in power who would apply the brakes as opposed to gasoline until a game-changing leader who can rally the country to fiscal responsibility pokes their head up. No one comes to mind.

And I was thinking I was the only one comparing the west to post-catharge Rome
seeing the plebs gain more and more power
to abolish the balance of power and establishing a non-republican empire.

And I still say having father son prez, wondering about prez couples
and having governour/senator posts often in the same family is a bad way to follow.
