This is painful for me to read as a U.S. citizen that was raised to love my country. Sadly the truth is the truth, and the U.S. government is completely out of control. It is no longer the land of the free and home of the brave. It is better than many other places still and I am thankful for the blessings I have but it is no longer the bastion of hope and freedom that it once was. I am ready and participating in the new blockchain economy and only plan to buy enough USD to pay off my system induced debts and gain my financial freedom and invest more in Steem and EOS.
