The obvious consequences of such government malfeasance are an explosion in crime and an increase in terrorism.
We are in the middle of what former Budget Director David Stockman calls “a state of affairs.”big deformation” He rightly laments the deception of crony capitalism, but it is just a system.

Their failure served as a stark testament to last November’s election results.
