Yes "cirled the wagons" is a good strategy but I do not think it has come to that yet......I do beleive being a good citizen and american has more to do with working to keep the country fair for all, I did appreciate your points about inflation living wages. We do not just retreat from injustice and undemocratic actions they must be faced up to and challenged, that is our right and we must all exercise them....yes the system has been used and abused for sure........it's up to us all to say "it stops here" and build a future we can be proude of. With all due repect SOPMD that might suit you b
