I have to leave the table now. Bottom line. Briefly. The elected representatives, that have to tax and pay for themselves and their vendors and social security, and defense and Medicaid etc etc are NOT bringing in enough money. Have growing debt.
The big business powers big corporations, that have been manipulating campaign financing, lobbying, controlling the elected representatives, have plenty of money and growing savings.
I believe the elected representatives are starting to see the cat that swallowed the canary, and are seeing the catch 22 situation they are trapped in, and KNOW they can’t go on the same way anymore.
I think even the Canary is starting to see that ultimately they NEED a prosperous population to make more money, to pay more taxes, and have enough left over to buy what big business sells.
Currency crashes, bond defaults, and rioting will SCREW THEM UP TOO. That’s why they bailed out everything after 2008.
