"Government" and that means both parties and their minions have got this country to where it is currently. If one is unhappy with the current state of affairs then maybe he/she should go out and make their voices heard in a peaceful, lawful, and organized manner. Our current crop of "leadership" in Washington (and at the state & local levels as well) should be held accountable for their lack of progress in solving the real issues facing America today. Problem is that party loyalty just perpetuates the system's divisiveness. Problems have solutions.

Turn all government agencies into private entities. Get rid of the government employees and let them start working for a living No. Just follow the Constitution. Any thing else is the responsibility of the states.

The people in the state of———- know more about what needs to be done than some bureaucrats in Washington. For example, education. Since the feds took over public education the US ranks at or near the bottom in education.

Just wait until hundreds of thousands of federal workers are fired. See what that does to our economy, distribution of SS checks, IRS interactions, air and water quality, etc.
You think the mouth breathing right wing nut jobs in montana, idaho, dakotas, wyoming, etc. can run their states and tend to their populations needs without the Feds? That is what is so laughable, if the public servants are axed like the project 25 is aiming, the sno ball effect on poor and middle class Americans would be very bad.

Car repossessions have surged in the U.S. during the first half of 2024 as more borrowers fall behind on their auto loans. Repos have gone up by 23% compared to the same time period last year, according to Automotive News. This unusually high number of repos in America is due, in part, to interest rates and inflation pushing monthly car payments to near-record highs this year.
The rate of repossession is so high right now, that it’s blown past pre-pandemic levels and increased by 14% compared to the first half of 2019. Repos had fallen during the global pandemic as lenders became more lenient in light of the situation and stimulus checks from the federal government buoyed buyer incomes
But lenders are reportedly less tolerant of late payments now that the pandemic has abated, and the former widespread policy of repossessions being triggered by three months of missed payments seems to be in full effect. Auto News cites data from Cox Automotive, which says these unprecedented numbers of repos are also due to high interest rates and inflation in the U.S.
Average interest rates for new car loans are at 7.3% right now, while the average for used car loans is sitting at 11.5%, per Edmunds. These rates result in an average monthly payment of about $740 for a new car and $552 for a used one. Some people are choosing to avoid such payments, which has led to the average age of vehicles steadily rising in the U.S. to 12.5 years.
