Stop and Think.
DEMOCRACY (Democratic) - allows the majority to control your life in a way they see fit.
Socialism, with Democracy, has used many times in the past with great disaster and mayhem results.
The US Constitution's & the Bill Of Rights are your only Protection from a Socially run Democratic government at any level. But it is only enforce the judges they appoint to apply it.

HISTORY FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The Great Depression in USA lead to adoption some Socialist agenda items in the 1920-30's.
In Germany, wich was defeated and in ruin from WW1. It lead to the NAZI Party (National Democratic Socialism Party) when Hindenburg died of old age.

NOW TODAY
* The US is $40+ Trillion in debt.

* We have about 1.2 Million US Citizens that are homeless.

* We have 70+ million Americans that rely on government assistance for food, healthcare, housing stability, and everyday income support.

* We have politicians that know we have illegals and US Citizens milking the system to the tune of a $### Billions a year. But do nothing, in order to keep their $###,###.00 political office, power and the wealth it clearly generates them.

QUESTION
* Are we facing another Great Depression & more Socialism?
* Does the Government Elite already have a foot out the door planning ahead for national bankruptcy?
* Will nations that bought into the USA National Debt Bonds, demand repayment in Gold, US holdings or assets outside the 48 State borders?
