It doesn’t mean that trajectory can’t be changed. It just means that’s the course it’s on now. So doom and gloom can be upended if we can change the prevailing wind.

That is their point to destroy the US economy for the people while stealing everything for the small cadre of billionaires. Their goal is to take from the government all existing programs and privatize every function of society. It’s in P25. CA is an integral part of that plan.

To not see what is haplening before our eyes is foolish.

Go pick on somebody else.
