The only kind of emergency our govt will respond to is something that upsets the banks or Wall St. A prez could have declared a medical emergency with Covid & expanded Medicare to everyone. A prez could declare a climate emergency & create a warp speed path to green energy. 1/2

The biggest problem with Americans is that we've been trained to expect too little & ask for too little. Koch brothers spent a lot of money convincing people that a govt which works for them is a "Nanny State." Kochs got what they paid for & the American people got screwed. 2/2

I do find your insightful observation about "trained to ask and expect too little" extremely on point and never discussed until you happen to bring it up.

If the government could do things without greed, grift, and overinflated budgets, maybe the American people would find it a bit easier to trust. Service has been pushed aside for selfishness and degraded public trust
