You may not know this, but the United States is in the grips of another crisis — perhaps its greatest crisis of all.
In addition to confronting a recession, a collapsing stock market, unemployment rates at a 50-year high and skyrocketing crime, the Constitution itself is now essentially dead.
The economy is growing, the stock market is at historic highs and the unemployment rate is near a 50-year low.
But crime rates have dropped after pandemic-era increases, and overall crime rates are substantially lower than they were in the relatively recent past: Violent crimes and property crimes are occurring at less than half the rates they were in the early 1990s.
An overwhelming majority of Americans (77 percent) believe that crime is rising — one of the most pessimistic assessments in a generation.
