America, like Greece, borrows and spends more money than it can ever reasonably expect to repay. The difference, besides scale, is that America has not yet run out of other people's money. It will.
The only hope of getting a grip on spending is to set budgets through regular order in Congress. That means hearings, votes, amendments -- the hard stuff. Democrats detest regular order and will insist on stopping the budget process in the Senate. Why? To trigger yet another budget crisis, then set the budget the same way Democrats have set it so far in the Obama years: by continuing resolutions that say approximately this: everything we spent last year plus a whole bunch more. That's it.

Males are checking out of the culture and the economy.
Families are fading as carriers of culture and civilization. Forty-plus percent of all babies are born to single mothers. The left sees no problem with this.
America has, indeed, been fundamentally transformed.
