 OFTEN QUOTED LINES THAT ARE NOT TRUE

SOME REFORMS TO LESSEN CORRUPTION

We see the intensity of reaction to current efforts to limit corrupt government. USAID was an unaccountable vehicle that has damaged the reputation of the U.S., it was used for social engineering in countries that have different cultural and religious backgrounds, not our business. It was used to to infiltrate and interfere in the political workings of foreign governments often creating chaos, unrest, revolution and death, again not in the best long term interest of the U.S., It was also now known to be what it really was, a CIA front with some good works for window dressing.

Fact, Ukraine never had nuclear weapons that they were forced to give up. Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union, which had nuclear weapons positioned in the Ukraine region. Are U.S. nukes in Turkey or Germany their or ours? Are nuclear weapons in Nebraska Nebraska's?,

Iran is not or never was the biggest financier of world terrorism. While it does and has supported opposition groups in the mideast, it has not supported terrorism in Europe or the U.S. The biggest supporter of sunni terrorism was the wealthy in Saudi Arabia. Much of that has now been suppressed, when the new head of the Saudi government, Mohammad bin Salman Al Saud, MBS, came to power in 2022. He has introduced many reforms that have moved Saudi Arabia in a new direction.

Most everyone agrees that the the U.S. has become very corrupt and its representatives have not been responsive to the desires of the citizenry. Much of the problem is that when representatives move to Wessington they become part of Washington and soon become representatives of Washington to their districts, often soon touting the policies of Washington insiders and "Experts".

A move in the right direction would be for representative not have a permanent situation in Washington, they should have an office and live in their district and only go to Washington for possibly 2, 30 days sessions to vote on legislation, all other communication can be done electronically and they possibly will retain some more allegiance to the people they are supposed to represent.

The reality is the United States cannot sustain the spending, deficits and debt as is the current situation. While many will say, well, that has been situation forever and life goes on, but it will not continue much longer and may have already exceeded the ability to correct. There are many interests to keep the gravy train rolling and the correction will come, either by willful action or circumstances beyond anyone's control,. either will be painful, but that latter will be catastrophic.
