Very few Americans know how close the country came to catastrophe this week

34. Mostly this just helped about 2/3 of the country. The other 100 million will wake up

to daily catastrophes of not enough food to get through the month, not enough money to afford the most spartan of living conditions, or one day closer to a retirement in poverty with only a SS check, at best, to provide for a little bit of comfort. And it is seriously doubtful that they would lose this in a country which creates its own money, in a country where the constitution, not a bunch of sleazy-looking cartoon Congresspeople, guarantee that we will always pay our national bills.

One could say how much worse off those people would be, but that's not necessarily true. I know this because it mostly comes from those who Malcom X would call House Negroes, the people who keep the system of servitude running in support of the wealthy and powerful. For them, and they know it, it's just a charade which keeps the assets of those with more pumped up. But even that slowly running out of steam, if one looks at the effect of the $1.4 trillion we are paying thieving bankers to keep their property values (and interest payments) propped up.

Maybe they would be better off if we let it collapse, arranged for food through our local national guard and Armed Forces, and stopped the wholesale movement of a great portion of their earnings into the pockets of people with more wealth than they know what to do with, instead of continuing this democracy which more resembles slavery for so many.
