The beginning of the rift between the government and its people results directly from massively increased spending and subsequent actions taken to "Protect us," which could also be construed as "Control us" - it's a fine line between "For your safety" and "For your enslavement." Politicians and agencies like the FBI exploited their new mandate to "Protect and defend" to increase their power and prestige; today, we live with weaponized bureaucracies and two-tiered justice.
Even though the U.S. was technically on the economic upswing before Obama's inauguration, he initiated massive spending on a scale not seen outside of wartime; he truly put the entitlement state on steroids.
To our detriment, he achieved it, and we're still paying for it through deficit spending, endless wars, and a contentious split between fiscal conservatives and dedicated progressives that want no less than a Marxist-America "Utopia." With Obama's legacy of class warfare, many believe that our country's ongoing destruction bears his fingerprints on the levers of a compromised and incapacitated Joe Biden.
We've made a devil's bargain: a two-party system where both parties rubber stamp out-of-control deficit spending.
Deficit spending allows both parties to throw fiscal discipline to the winds.
After spending trillions of dollars on poverty, homelessness, and all, disenfranchised populations are unchanged or greater in number than before the Great Society Programs were established.
These failures are pushing us to a reckoning with endlessly rising entitlement spending.
