206: Political Depression

I am very depressed over the state of politics and government in the USA.  To wit:

The Dems are about to nominate  a woman for president who is a shifty, scheming, pathological liar.
The Republicans are about to nominate a quasi-successful businessman for president, but the Republican establishment is afraid of him, and is willing to cave to Hillary.
The national debt of the USA is about $13 trillion, and no one is talking about it.
The Secretary of the Treasury, Jack Lew, instead of focusing on a looming economic disaster, has decided to re-face the US currency with six women who have minimal historic significance.
The national capital of the US is a booming economy, based solely on taking resources from working men and women, and producing nothing in return.
The Federal Reserve System (the Fed) is a bumbling bunch of eggheads acting only in the interests of politicians who grant authority to the Fed.

It's not wonder why I'm depressed.
