Summers, because of this, has visited more tragedy on this country than any international terrorist, in my opinion. And he served as Obama's chief economic adviser and director of the President's National Economic Council. (Don't misunderstand - it could be worse, and Mi$$ is doing his best (LOL. No really, he is) to find people that will follow him down that other path).
I think people who seek to change this, however, haven't figured out how to get people to come to that realization. By all rights there should be millions of people in the streets, not thousands. That should be instructive, but I don't think it is.
But one of the worst results of being a slave and being forced to do things is that when there is no one to force you any more you find you have almost lost the power of forcing yourself.
