    We had a real union before. If there was a natural disaster in California or Texas or Florida or New York, we all pitched in to help. That’s what federal taxes that go to FEMA do.

    That’s breaking down. No matter why it’s happened or who is responsible, this is a bad sign.

      It isn’t “breaking down”, it’s getting sabotaged by domestic terrorists.

      The breakdown already happened. We are in a civil war. Federal taxes are now a theft without recourse under the threat of violence.

          In case that wasn’t clear, I’m cheering on the hopefully impeding dissolution of the US here. If America becomes a bunch of small to medium-sized state Great Satan might finally stop spreading death and destruction on the other side of the world. The more dysfunctional the Union becomes, the more states are going to want out, so yeah.
