The question is not about supporting one side or the other. This is a time that calls for us not to be small petty creatures but a case that requires rational human beings, which seems to be more impossible with each passing day. Never did there arise a period that has witnessed any generation devolve into such agitations in political views surrounded by every considerable danger to our way of life and the survival of our government structure. The imprisoned winds of the Romans symbolized by keeping the doors to their Temple of Janus closed during peace and opened during war have indeed been let loose, but this is predominantly for civil war.<\/p>\n<p>CONFIDENCE\u00a0rules everything. It is critical upon what society believes. With all the turmoil in politics, even with the Congress in the hands of the Republicans, they still lack the votes for major reform. Then there is the rise of the left hell bent upon bringing down Trump at all costs to preserve the elite and status quo. The majority are generally fools. They actually believe the words of politicians to their doom.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fancybox image\" href=\"https:\/\/armstrongmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IBEUUS-D-3-11-2017.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-62388\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-62388 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/armstrongmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IBEUUS-D-3-11-2017.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armstrongmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IBEUUS-D-3-11-2017-300x225.jpg 300x, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IBEUUS-D-3-11-2017-180x135.jpg 180x, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IBEUUS-D-3-11-2017-600x449.jpg 600x, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IBEUUS-D-3-11-2017.jpg 636x\" alt=\"IBEUUS-D 3-11-2017\" width=\"350\" height=\"262\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, it is the unsettling disturbance within politics that reflects the crumbling level of\u00a0CONFIDENCE. With that, all bets are off. Capital becomes confused. Looking at the Euro, the turmoil politically in Europe one would look to sell the Euro and buy dollars. Then we turn and look at the United States and all we see is incredible infighting and a battle waged by the left to prevent any populist reforms whatsoever. We hear politicians and the press demeaning the rise of \u201cpopulism\u201d as if the people are just fools who are clueless and do not really know what they are demanding.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Future \u2013 Putting it All Together\u00a0 This is the year of political hell.
