NATIONAL BESTSELLER
The three Great Premises of Idiot America:
· Any theory is valid if it sells books, soaks up ratings, or otherwise moves units
· Anything can be true if someone says it loudly enough
· Fact is that which enough people believe. Truth is determined by how fervently they believe it
With his trademark wit and insight, veteran journalist Charles Pierce delivers a gut-wrenching, side-splitting lament about the glorification of ignorance in the United States.
Pierce asks how a country founded on intellectual curiosity has somehow deteriorated into a nation of simpletons more apt to vote for an
American Idol contestant than a presidential candidate. But his thunderous denunciation is also a secret call to action, as he hopes that somehow, being intelligent will stop being a stigma, and that pinheads will once again be pitied, not celebrated. Erudite and razor-sharp,
Idiot America is at once an invigorating history lesson, a cutting cultural critique, and a bullish appeal to our smarter selves.

Yes. May. The writings are on the wall. If the trajectory continues, the country won't last. Start with politicians. All they care about is the accumulation of wealth, regardless of the party, when they are put in office to serve the people's interest. When leaders do that, the people follow. This is why the wealth gap continues to widen every year.
The biggest threat to the USA is not the politicians. It is us. We keep demanding more and more from our leaders. Free medicare. More Social Security. More benefits.
Guess where we push the corrupt politicians to? The Printing press. The USD will begin its collapse beginning before Trump leaves office. You people who think things aren't affordable now? Just wait till inflation is 30-50% a year.
