THE LEMMING SYNDROME -This refers to a phenomenon wherein crowds of people, across various fields of life, exhibit a certain kind of behaviour for no reason other than the fact that a majority of their peers do so. Many psychologists even argue that human beings are conditioned by nature to follow the larger group instead of undertaking the risk of independent thought and action.
YES INDEED! As I was watching the throngs of protestors marching to protest what they don’t understand, I was reminded of lemmings running towards and tumbling over a cliff in a mad scramble…..(there are views on you tube! ). – YEP these crowds reminded me of lemmings!
Thats the Democrats and others I guess -Instead of trying to figure out what is happening, what is next, and /or what went wrong – Its over the cliff for them…….
I did recently ask a Democratic group what they believed in and for a long time got no reply but finally someone did and they questioned my question because they did not have an answer to it! I mentioned to them that Democrats, according to CNN which is lefty news that the Democrats today only have a 29% voter approval rate! Didn’t you know? I asked. If I were a Democrat I would be working on the problem …. But I think they want to blame others – (I am the problem?) not sure! I am an Independent voter.
Anyway the problem is that many things are changing and it is scary, and people don’t like change. Also these persons have very little understanding of their government, or history, or math and they tend to be lead by others with fake and questionable motives who tell familiar story lines that these people find compelling and attractive. They use the word Democracy a lot – And I am quite positive by this time that these protesting persons do not know what Democracy means.
The US government is spending over $1 trillion annually on interest payments on the national debt, The interest on the national debt is 93.8 billion per month according to A I!!
Who is going to pay that? Thats just the interest. Our debt is bigger than our GDP.
And that is what made me realize that we are in deep doo doo. HENCE DOGE – ok?
It is just like a household where all of a sudden it comes to light – that the party that handles the finances has secretly re-mortgaged the house several times over to pay off charged debt and now there is no equity left in the home they have lived-in for 20 years! That happened to 2 friends of mine! Using a charge card without restraint is an addiction I believe, and it left a friend of mine on the verge of retirement with no home equity. Retired with only social security – is a bad place to be. And that is the USA Today – we have massive debt. Our GDP cannot handle our debt and pay bills at the same time, and it appears that the two biggest unfunded programs we have are social security and and medicaid !!!! We can’t just keep printing money – that leads to massive inflation. And our dollar becomes worthless! Under Biden the inflation rate went to 5.2 according to the GAO – the Government Accounting Office.
In closing, although there is much more to say – What is happening today is an attempt to keep America from defaulting on its debt – a mad scramble to find all that is considered fraud, waste and abuse, so to bring back financial health to our economy. President Trump has signed several contracts with chip makers and automobile mfgrs to create more jobs here. Tariffs, which I was taught in school, were meant to protect the American worker, and the middle class, which was mostly destroyed by NAFTA.
Bringing more jobs into our country will stabilize this countries economy. That is what we want and need!
Put on a lemming mask and protest if you want to, but your energy would be better spent in trying to solve some of the many massive problems in our country and here at home in Oregon.
