I met a guy yesterday you told me, “We live on this planet at the generosity of the forces of nature.  These privileges can be withdrawn at any time, and without notice.”

I thought that was clever.

A Metaphor on the Natural Forces that Support Human Life on Earth

Everyone living in the United States benefits from our federal, state, and local governments in many dozens of different ways, from roads, bridges, tunnels, airports, banking insurance, help for veterans, national forests, public schooling (K-12), firefighting, criminal justice, fuel pipelines, subsidies for social goods, national defense, elections, etc.

All progressives really want to add to the list is free college education and universal health care.

Of course, we would also like to see corrupt Supreme Court justices like the one shown at left go to prison, but that’s already covered in “criminal justice.”

Progressivism

Historians point to Andrew Jackson, with his butchering of the Native Americans, to the presidents immediately before and after the U.S. Civil War, and to Warren Harding as the previous “worst presidents in our nation’s history.”

Having said that, regardless of what our country’s future turns out to be, it’s virtually impossible to imagine that Trump will not come out on the top of the list.
