I know that is a terrible thing to say, but we have been warning about the consequences of voting for the current anti-entitlement republican agenda for the last 8 years. It is time to let those that vote for it against their own best interest to suffer the consequences. While we must mitigate the damage so that the country is salvageable in 4 years, the cycle of Dems building up an economy to only have it torn down by Republicans needs to end. Trump's going to do just that while lining his pockets.
