I have been watching the Rot set in since 1980. They were talking about saving SS then and they are talking about it now. In the mid 80s I picked up the "12 Caesars" by Suestonious and OMG....If U were to ask a comparison I would say pre Sulla...the place where the Repblic is just getting shakey and dysfunctional.

This Immigration Bill was really BAD...because it appeared that both sides were bought off.

America was founded upon the principle of RULE OF LAW. With the giving amnesty and eventual Citizensihip for ILLEGAL actions that concept has been thrown out the window. This is the 2nd nail in the coffin.

The 1st nail was the challenge Gore made to the outcome of the election in 2000. For 200 years EVERYBODY knew that the process of counting the votes was flawed, yet nobody complained. Now that the outcome isn't liked , Gore challenged the very process of counting the votes AFTER the fact. This was the 1st time anybody had challeged the very Process of voting itself. Now we can't even trust our own Election Process...
