Our Congress persons, our TRIBAL Congress divided by inability to find a middle ground on any issue, have so little prescience they cannot plan for the future economic and physical calamities / disasters, e.g., storms, fires, earthquakes, floods, diseases, wars, i.e., that are sure to come. 

Our Congress is driving America to a precipice!

Process and politics, contractors and lobbyists, the Military Industrial Complex, have f**ked up the DoD Acquisition system.  We waste money and buy the wrong weapons for the wrong war.

"As Debt Rises, the Government Will Soon Spend More on Interest Than on the Military"

Tax cuts, spending increases and higher interest rates could make it harder to respond to future recessions and deal with other needs.
