But at least self-enrichment required that the US continue to remain solvent. The current group of loonies is trying to dismantle the entire country.
This is why I longed for Romney after Trump was elected the first time. I don't agree with basically any of his politics, and I'm also ex-Mormon and inherently question his morals and motives, but I at least believed that he was doing and would continue to do what he thought was good for the US, even if I vehemently disagreed with that that actually was.
Can't really say that for anyone in charge right now, and that's what's scary and dangerous. It's like seeing a careless kid playing with a lighter vs. a known arsonist walking around town with a blowtorch and several jugs of gasoline.
