1 out of every 4 children eat government food in a government school.

The majority in America have created the government they deserve in their own image.

That is proof enough for me that something is wrong with the system!

There's actually nothing wrong with the system itself...

...for the system is nothing more or less than what the popular collective societal consensus demands it to be. It is a direct expression of the values (or lack of them) by which people live their own lives. the government is created in the image of those who demand it to serve them at the expense of others. So it's people who determine the size and nature of the government they deserve... and not the other way around.

People who love lies will always elect liars who will lie to them.

And elected again! Even given the huge Democratic tilt in California, I was a bit aghast that Moonbeam got elected again.
