I am not interested in the Federal Government solving my problems, I just don't want the Government to be the problem.

So, where do people like me turn?

Since we are litigating the last election I think that a whole lot of voters who voted for the creepy degenerate just wanted the government to be less powerful. At least that is the feeling that I get from the part of the rural area that I live in.

Instead what we have is a political autoimmune disease destroying the once untied states. Empowered but the Republicans funded by oligarchs from all over the world whose goal is to see the US broken up. Like what happened to the former Soviet Union.

I think that the Biden/Harris admin focused on serious amounts of moneys being directed at the causes and important infrastructures that I certainly supported. And am heartbroken to see destroyed. Moneys that to me seemed way over due and crucial for our hopes of bringing industry back.

But I think that more voters just want the government not to be funding big things. At least not big new things. This desire seems to stem fro 40 years of successful propaganda begun by Rush Limbaugh and the like who succeeded in winning over the voters of the nation that have the most power. Rural voters in rural states. Where their two Senators for less than a million people hold the rest of us hostage. The Republicans made a very wise investment, all the while those of us calling it out were utterly ignored, and I maintain still are ignored, by those in liberal urban areas who simply have no idea.

I think that a middle ground going forward will be focusing on the Federal Government supporting it's entitlement programs properly, and restoring the Federal Agencies properly.

But I am not convinced that any faith in the Federal System can ever be restored after all of this malice directed at the enemies of the creep and his toadies. And at those doing all the heavy lifting work for the country.
