The overlying question is:
Should we continue to pump trillions of fiat dollars into the system(in the form of bailouts) in order to temporarily keep the system going, or should we stand our ground, do whats right, and just let the system collapse as it should have two years ago?
Meh.[/QU
I was thinking about this tonight. "It" has collapsed. The reallllll identifying question, the question that means everything, is, "Collapsed for whom?".
"We" are not pumping anything into this system. The whole "they should not pump our taxpayer money into this anymore...." blah is just that... blah nonsense.
Our tax money is going nowhere. It cannot even fund what we are doing here. Our tax money is nothing compared to what this money going to the banks is. The globe has spent over $50T on these bailouts. It is never about our tax money. That is just a ploy b/c the number is much more easy to grasp for the public. It is about debt and more simply, enslavement through interest and the complete and utter devaluation of our standard of living which elevates the elite (because the now lower middle class relies on transfer payments, etc...).
It has collapsed for the middle class. It has collapsed for the poor. Everything is working out just fine for the elite. In fact, things have never been better (or so they think). The endless money supply to banks allows them to reap massive profits and pay out massive bonuses which creates the utter consolidation of power for the elite. You can either take over "something" or "someone", a surface level, through war, or economics. They do it both ways.
You do not want to price your oil in our currency? Fine. We will take you over.
You think you are about to retire and step outside this system? Fine, we will crash everything you have ever seen, and put you right back in "dependency row". Back in line, silly millionaire baby boomer.
All "they" have done is enslave another 5 generations of citizens. These bailouts will never be repaid. Debt is NEVER supposed to be repaid. Banks HATE it when you pay off your 30 year mortgage in 10 years. Look at the numbers.
This is surfdom, plain and simple. How many bailouts have you received? Is the swap line open for you? How about accountibility? Pay your mortgage on time or else the phone will ring and the Sherriff will be at your door. Credit cards late? Oh boy, you don't want that precious credit score to get hit, DO YOU?
But that is NOT the same set of rules for the elite. This world is a playground to them. Look at their actions and nothing more.
The collapse started decades ago. The collapse has happened. The only change to the system will be at the hands of civil unrest. You think you (we) can vote in change? You are nuts. We can dream all we want, but unless you die in your sleep, you will wake up and face the reality before you. It is not a choice, but a requirement.
So the underlying question should be, "When will WE make that change?". It will NEVER come at the hands of those that prosper the most in the form of power and wealth, from the very system that we seek to change.
Change will come when everyone in this spoonfed nation wakes up and realizes that they are just ants marching on. The entire system is broken, but the question is, "Broken for whom?".
This change will not come from voting any more than it did at the birth of our nation. I fear that it will only come through bloodshed, as the fist that grips our throats only tightens after the first shot is fired. This will not end well, and any thoughts that it will, are irresponsible pipe dreams, and nothing more. I encourage the exact opposite of what I fear it will really take to turn this globe around.
