This country really needs another Kennedy or Reagan.

A major problem is that the leader and the times must match.

Kennedy was the right [enough] leader for his times as Reagan was
for his. It is doubtful that either one would have anywhere the
same degree of success in the current [poisonous]
socio-political/economic environment.

The big danger is that the current situation may be the perfect
environment for a Huey Long, an American Peron or even an
American edition of Stalin/Mao/Hitler.

Already we have managed to largely externalize accountability for
our financial/social problems on "outside agitators" and external
forces, e.g. the dastardly Chinese Communists and reprehensible
Arab fundamentalists that forced our naïve Federal government to
borrow trillions of dollars and tricked the U.S. citizens into
buying their consumer products and oil. ;-
