29. Right!

Sep 2019

The clarion call is now going to trumpet the need to cut everybody off of everything they can because those are useless expenditures. That is an obvious and typical cycle and the deficit becomes a ruse and a tool that they utilize after increasing it.

This time though, the situation is far more dire and at the level of a major crises brewing, so the services and programs really need to be expanded and increased just to maintain at least a semblence of societal order and functional structure since we have many 3rd-World realities emerging around us.

The cuts they are going to wield their barbaric axe at are not going to be as easy to justify or enact because of that. Add to that the relentless sucking sound of increasingly unequal distribution of wealth and, hopefully, more people will wake up to the potential of an impending Feudalism at hand.

There have been estimates that, if the wealthy and corporations continue the current trend of profit and acquisition of wealth, resources and property, they could literally own everything globally within a few decades. That should be a sobering thought and it does play into reasons for supporting the commons and well being of the population in general.
