Who could be dumb enough
to think (or even mistakenly write)
that the "Government of the United States"
was owned by an archbishop?
Apparently, Dunn & Bradstreet was dumb enough.
This "Government" and all its various "branches"
are being reported by D&B to be individual,
private companies.
"United States House Of Representatives is a private
company categorized under Legislative Bodies, National
and located in San Francisco, CA . . . ."
"United States House Of Representatives also
does business as Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi"
If so, the true nature of the
"Government of the United States"
might not be that of a "republic" or even
a "democracy," but rather a combination
of governmental and corporate interests
("private companies") that's usually
described as "fascism".
If so, we no longer have "government of the People,
by the People and for the People" but instead have
"government of the people, by the Congress,
and for the Corporations."

America has truly become a "welfare state" ;
Wherein the government itself depends on "welfare"
(credit) provided by foreign countries like China.
Just as productive Americans can no longer afford
to support non-productive Americans, foreign nations
can no longer support the U.S. government.
Government, itself, is about to see
its "unemployment checks" terminated.
Barring a miracle, America will not return
to fundamental truths required to run an economy
until our institutionalized lies and welfare/credit
dependency have been excised by a national,
economic catastrophe.
After enough of us have suffered and perhaps
died, America will reluctantly turn back to truth.
Welfare will wither.
Government will wither.
Industry will revive.
Then our economy may "recover"
