I always knew we were still better than 3rd world countries. But, I also knew we were squandering it with World War II level (existential crisis level) spending every year during peacetime, while doubling the size of the CFR every few years, increasing the power of the Executive at the expense of the Legislative.... I didn't fear for me. I feared for the America my children and their children would have...less republican (small r), less able to do good having mortgaged its future for silly expenses. Trump is not fixing the spending (mostly because the GOP won't let him). But, Trump is at least making me feel better about SCOTUS, and if you do have some conservatism left in you, you should be happy about that.
