Taxpayer first...

As predicted many times in these pages, the days of big government behaving like organized crime are rapidly coming to an end as peak liberalism fades in the rear view.  A government big enough to give people anything they want is big enough to take everything that those who are not their buddies have.  And so it has been happening for decades: every law enforcement agency from the CIA, FBI and DOJ right down to podunk cops have been fucking the public over at any chance they got.  Why?  Because most of the herd was fat dumb and happy and if injustice to a few members was the price of keeping that then so be it.  Small price to pay.

But now many if not most of the herd is in trouble.  Huge personal debt, school debt, skyrocketing medical costs and no pension almost dictate a shitty life for most of the herd.  At least in relative terms to what Americans have grown accustomed to.  And so now the herd is no longer quietly grazing.   When the train passes by they walk up to see who is inside and what they are doing.  Politicians see this.  They also look at global news and they see things like Hongkongese storming their parliament building.  It's one thing when a band of unarmed Chinese do this.  But if it ever gets to this same point in the USA, people will die.  And by people, I mean elite.  There will be hangings in the street.  In fact, if that line is crossed then there is no turning back and thus there MUST be hangings in the street or those who decided to go Rambo will be held accountable.  Once they cross that line they have nothing to lose and everything to gain by hanging their political enemies in the streets.

I'm not calling for it to happen nor do I want it to.  I'm not even predicting it will happen.  No, like I have been saying all along, once the liberal shit is behind us the cops will become more like Andy of Mayberry, a real joy to have around and a helpful influence in the community.   The FBI will purge itself.  Government will clean up its act.  Not because they want to mind you but because they will see the writing on the wall. You cannot fuck with armed people forever because sooner or later there will be a revolt and so they must take another path; they must begin caring about the people again.

Trump's latest move down this path is called Taxpayer first.  You can read about it here but it is essentially an exact declaration of what I expected to happen.  Government crime gets out of control, the people who are suddenly awake and no longer sleepy sheeple begin to demand change, and so politicians realize that they better damned well change before they see the battle of Kruger on their front lawn.

All of this government corruption built up as a process but the collapse of it will be 30% faster, just like the stock market has stair steps up and elevator down. Same principle.
