There was a political philosopher from long ago (sorry, the name escapes me) who opined that all representative governments are destined to fail, because the public eventually starts to vote itself all kinds of goodies from the national treasury. Sooner or later, the economy must collapse, and the representative government collapses with it.
What's bizarre about 21st century America is that foreigners who should not even be here are effectively voting themselves the treasury, pointing toward what must someday be an economic collapse.
