Russians Undermining our Democracy or Americans conducting a "Small Experiment"

I don't endorse many of the choices either side make myself and think Trump should reign in the undiplomatic talk and focus on policy - but I did hold my nose and voted for him

Did you reply to the wrong person? This response is disconnected to what I posted.

That's a pretty convenient "outside of", given the Democrats' penchant for useless
wars rivals the Republicans. But another wrinkle is that when Bill Clinton saw fiscal
improvement, this was with help from Newt Gingrich & the Contract With Americastan.
Neither party should be trusted to reduce the deficit or debt.


Ironically I know many people who thought Bill Clinton was reducing the deficit, when we was actually slowing the growth of the deficit, However Obama put the debt into the stratosphere.

Spending high for both, but foreign spending tends not to have as much economic stimulus as domestic

I don't doubt you.
But you've piqued my curiosity.
Have a link to figures?

All that instant electronic communication is what is undermining society. Before, someone in Romania could not have had an effect on anything in America.

AND, now days, Cell Phone texting is far more important than face to face talking. Video Games, Sitcoms, and movies for the pre-pubescent are more important than studying the issues that are important. America is on the way out, and those who hate us will be happy to pick our bones.
It reminds me alot of the reformation period with the literal explosion of information. Not so sure being informed is understanding much really.

That's a nice fantasy from the right but devoid of facts.
Oh facts has little to do with politics..

I think America itself is a grand experiment that the powers that be are letting continue till it burns itself out. So that they can learn lessons that we are bumbling through life here. America is looking closer and closer to Idiocracy.

When a country is run on popularity contests, greed, self interests, special interests, and how far you can push a brainwashed population down into mediocrity before they snap.

I get it, every country has pro-itself propaganda, but eventually you get old enough and you at least do a little bit a of traveling. And then you see through the bull that is in the history classes of every country on the planet. Governments serve themselves, with their population on the back-burners warming them on the coals only long enough to make them think they actually matter.
