Context: Let me tell you now: it is still morning in America. It just happens to be kind of a head-pounding-hung-over-vomiting-for-four-hours kind of morning in America.

7. "If we do honest soul searching, we are on the ground, and if this ain’t your bottom, America"

"I warn you – some people, you know, people always ask me when there’s some celebrity that’s, you know, I don’t know, vomiting on themselves in some, you know, rehab center – what could we have done to save them? The answer is nothing. Some people’s bottom is just a little higher than others. Some people are going to die before they hit bottom. You cannot save them."

That is the gist of what Dreckkk and his entire audience of pasty-white Dreckkkians are all about, other than being out and out, or closet bigots and racists. He goes on about out of control spending by Dems and Reps, in a historic sense, but does not directly address what spending should be cut. But he really doesn't have to. We know EXACTLY what they most want to see cut, or better still eliminated, and that is social spending on "entitlements". Most right-wingers may not believe in evolution, but they most assuredly believe in the Darwinian idea of only the strongest and/or most fortunate surviving. They may fervently oppose the abortion of a fetus, but once that fetus pops out of the woman's womb, its mother better have health insurance coverage, or sufficient assets to pay the medical bills, because if she doesn't, and the infant needs further or immediate medical treatment, it may as well perish right there in the delivery room. But hey, at least the infant wasn't "murdered", and their pious consciences are still clear.

He doesn't mention anything about how our leaders have been bought up or out by the global corporate capitalists and their lobbyists, so that there is no way any significant legislation will be created, nor put into law to stop, or at least stanch the hemorrhaging of jobs out of the country during the past 35 years. This does not even take into account the amount of jobs that have been lost forever due to technology, robotics, automation, buyouts, takeovers, and mergers. But obviously all that needs to be done is to further cut taxes for the privately wealthy, and large businesses, and new US jobs will begin to miraculously appear. Maybe that is the "miracle" that Dreckkk was talking about, because that is what it really would take to make it happen, if conservatives had their way. But maybe there would be more jobs created in the law enforcement, legal, judicial, corrections, and undertaking industries, to imprison and/or bury all of the tens of millions of US citizens who would be indirectly or directly affected by the elimination of spending on federal and state social services.
