If this truly is like unto the Proclamation, it could also be a sign of upcoming pressure to become dependent on government aid rather than becoming self-sufficient.

1. Is the post office able to support its own operations from the revenues it receives from the postage and other services it provides?
2. Is Amtrak successful?

6. Does the Department of Education spit out smarter and smarter students every year?
7. Does the multiplicity of intelligence agencies make us safer or our data more secure?
