Future historians of this impending fiscal crack-up will likely note one additional culprit that made it all possible. Namely, that the GOP got taken over by neocon warmongers and beltway lifers who were more interested in keeping the lights on and feeding the interest groups and the PACs that elected them than in keeping the nation solvent.

What is being released right now is not transparency.
It is controlled disclosure.
Fragments.
Selective timing.
Curated narratives.
Carefully engineered confusion.
Enough to distract.

“Our problem as Americans is we actually hate history. What we love is nostalgia.’
-- Regie Gibson
“Here’s an uncomfortable truth about the Epstein accusations: We only find them morally reprehensible because of Christianity. Before the spread of Christianity, ‘civilized’ Greek and Roman elites openly flaunted underage s*x slaves. This was normal. Emperor Hadrian built an entire city in honor of his favorite boy… If you undercut the moral foundations of Christianity from the West, culture reverts back to pagan norms.”
–Paul Anleitner
