5. The arc of my life has been marked by continual degradation of the public sphere

Basically, those of us who have been around for decades remember when government functioned at least somewhat in the interests of the average person...I benefited from grants and programs (and paid much more in taxes as a result so a net benefit to the nation)...but have witnessed the accelerating degradation of the government as the oligarchy takes overt control and directs policy to enrich the few at the expense of the many.

End times now when they are just looting the nation openly and dismantling the government. The rest of our lives will be blighted.

Ten years in power and they will have stripped the nation of all public assets and anything that doesn't benefit the super wealthy.
