    The chief problem facing America today is the decline of its institutions, coupled with the denial of that decline by the people in charge of its institutions. https://usat.ly/2BPB2xT  (via @USATOpinion)

        Since the '70's U.S. citizens let corporate identities take over govt and for years eroding govt institutions of every branch. From #Trump to the #SCOTUS you can see the repercussions. @burberryant @PattiKimble @jojokejohn @PattiTweeting

        there seems to be a mass of people who don't take responsibility for their positions in America... there is a lack of communication between all of them... a belief in perfection so demeaning to admit fault...

        and it's all the government's fault? Uh Uh-we all need to look in the mirror-lack of respect for all authority from teachers to police, etc. The dumbing down of our country, the permissiveness factor. It's complex and it has taken decades. Yes, I blame the liberals

        The decline of institutions is well earned by the abuses of authority and incompetence of those in those institutions and the "leaders" running them.

        This is why our #Constitution clearly states "Americans have the right to bear arms" in case our government goes corrupt. And I think it has already gotten there.

        As we are finding out about the corruption, it seems like they are mostly, if not all, Democrats.

        The decline of the notions of public service and responsibility (shockingly) parallel the decline of the nuclear family and Judaeo-Christian morality

        We all have a responsibility to keep our self safe (arm yourself) and help others (volunteer). Go make a honest living and pay your taxes. #America.

        Because admitting the decline would be admitting failure, whether it is personal or the agency's past. No room for that in the "Everybody is a winner, everybody gets a trophy" generation.
