So how much evidence do you need?

Had planned to write about something else entirely, but noticed that the stock market closed under 10,000 today. That's not a good sign. That looks like the start of another, perhaps deeper, "recession." Deeper because now the Comrade has put the USA a couple trillion dollars more in debt and has made it inadvisable to return to that well. 'Course, the dems don't have any other ideas besides spend-spend-spend, so just because more borrowing would be ruinous doesn't mean the dems won't do it.

What else have they got? Blaming Republicans can't help with this one. Maybe if they listened to Republicans. That might help a little.

See, if we had an intelligent and open-minded person in the White House, who was truly concerned about the welfare of the nation, we'd see an about face in economic policy. We'd see the Comrade -- or more likely Biden, who's a clown anyway who doesn't mind humiliating himself -- announcing something like, "Hey, we've made a major error. All this socialist crap isn't working. We may try to introduce some capitalism to spur economic growth."

But we don't have an intelligent and open-minded person in White House. We have the Comrade, a rigid idealogue who regards the USA as an experimental lab for marxism. Not even experimental. I mean, it's not like he's going to admit -- or even recognize -- his failure and correct it. He's going to continue marching what he calls "forward" right over the edge of a cliff.

So hang on.

Interesting that no one in the administration has any real-life experience in business, that is, in the real-world application of economics. Most of them are ivory tower types whose greatest challenge has been keeping the undergrads awake in those after lunch classes. In their spare time, they construct utopias. Until this administration, that was their greatest hope for immortality. But the Comrade has given them a huge and almost unrestricted opportunity to test out their theories and, guess what?, they don't work.

Socialism has never worked. Tightly centralized and controlled economies never work. Neither do tightly controlled societies.

Oh, for a while the "ruling class" can club people, send them to Siberia, "disappear" them, appropriate private property, slaughter any protesters, and redistribute the spoils. And the redistribution goes something like:  "One for you, two for me."

However, those tightly-controlled organizations, economic or social, wear pretty heavily on the general population. Their longevity depends upon how beaten down and demoralized the population is to begin with. Eventually, the ruling class is either beheaded or simply run out of town as their little world collapses under their own weight.

I always believed that Americans were such ornery cusses, we wouldn't put up with it for long. I still believe so -- even though the Comrade, Pelosi, and Reid were freely elected.

That's all for now. Have to go try to figure out some kind of survival strategy. Cash will be involved.

Save the republic.
