Why We Are Doomed, in One Report

By February 18, 2026Commentary2 min read

The US is done, the long downward spiral has begun, driven by the extremist, radical, far-left, whacked ideology which has infiltrated and corrupted every institution we depend on, starting with education and continuing through law, medicine, event the military at times.  The triumph of idiotic ideology over common sense has undermined meritocracy and promoted morons who are the right skin color, gender, religion, or sexual orientation over hard-working intelligence.  But an equally pernicious factor has been the reckless incurrence of massive public debt by both parties–multi-trillion dollar deficits year-after-year.  Anyone who thinks this doesn’t eventually ruin any country is delusional.

If you want an easy to read report on just how bad federal finances are; take a look at the latest Congressional Budget Office projections.  Very depressing reading, almost as bad as reading Bluesky posts.  Ongoing huge deficits, $3.6 trillion in ten years–2036.  Burgeoning interest payments, over $1 trillion in 2026 and over $2 trillion by 2036 combine with the deficit to create a recipe for very high interest rates, inflation and stifled gowth.   The federal government will be eating up almost 25% of our entire economy through this ten-year projection period.  Standards of living will fall.  And neither party has the courage to do what is right and cut spending.   (CBO Report)
