Fasten your seat belts - this is quite the ride after decades of being duped by the greedy rich who have misused their power and positions.
Basically, the only reason we do not have good things like most other advanced countries have is because the greedy sociopaths running things for decades wanted our unlimited federal money for themselves.
Unlimited money? HOW CAN THAT BE? Yes, since the 70s, they understood that the federal government could issue any amount of money for anything that is physically possible.* And they wanted that money for themselves instead of using our money for the good of all as directed by our Constitution (Article 1, Section 8).
They devised the scam of privatization to get the money and TOOK THE SCAM GLOBAL, getting money from our country and many others that could issue money with almost no constraints (meaning that the constraint is 'what is physically possible', or put another way, real resources are the constraint).
But of course they needed plausible LIES to dupe the public, right? And so they pretended that our federal money is finite and 'like a household budget' to dupe us so they could implement their scam. They lie about our national 'debt', for example; it is actually our NATIONAL SAVINGS ACCOUNT. They lie about having to raise taxes in order to have nice things. Every fearmongering thing they tell us is a LIE - about the debt, about the deficit, about 'can't afford', about 'have to make cuts to some programs', and on and on.
We have SEEN the billions and billions approved for the war profiteers, the prison profiteers, the detention facilities, the healthcare insurance companies and more. WHY? Because people running those systems get to BILL ANY AMOUNT and then SIPHON OFF whatever they want to get rich beyond what any normal business could achieve. Many - if not most - privatized companies are on the stock market, and the other corrupt thieves INVEST because they know that profits are GUARANTEED by our federal money! (This also applies to the countries we corrupted back in the 70s and 80s with the privatization scam - Australia, the UK and others.)
Again - our Constitution directs that federal money be spent TO PROVIDE FOR THE GOOD OF ALL! As I see it, our corrupt elected officials have neglected their duty, disobeyed the Constitution, misappropriated federal funds, caused great harm and decline to our country, caused suffering and struggle for the American people, committed WAR CRIMES in many countries as they destroyed them, and more.... for money.
They lie, cheat, steal, kill, imprison and detain - here and in other countries - as they go for their next 'money fix'. We must take the control OUT of the hands of pathologically greedy sociopaths and get ETHICAL control of the government in order to help the country, humanity, and the entire planet.

A good short primer about our monetary system to help clarify.
- This blog exposes the lies we have been told, one at a time. That was what I needed to help dismantle the web of LIES I had been told for decades.
