May You Live in Interesting Times

"May you live in interesting times". Supposedly this is an old Chinese curse, but our nation may be under that curse. When 46% of Republicans say they would vote for Donald Trump, a man who is completely deranged and willing to demonstrate it daily, we are surely in "interesting times". At a time when the rich are paying the lowest taxes they have paid in history, and asking for more tax breaks, we are living "in interesting times". When people will watch Fox News spew lies and propaganda, and think they are really watching news, we are "living in interesting times". Perhaps the China that we now owe 900 billion dollars has successfully put a curse on us. We are living on a Chinese credit card. The Chinese are famous for being patient. The Chinese have been patient enough to lend us the money we need to destroy ourselves. We borrowed 700 billion from our Chinese friends so we could give the rich the Bush tax breaks they deserve. Indeed we are living in "interesting times".
