16 trillion in debt, a 821 billion dollar deficit, and 125 trillion in unfunded liabilities. How long do we want to pretend that the US is solvent? Economic recovery? It's debt, and nothing but debt. Concrete real economic outcome is pathetic. Your buying power has been destroyed by federal reserve machinations and Wall st corruption that all political parties and presidents have been culpable to. It's time we realize the hocus pocus spell of nationalism and reap the whirlwind.
People are naturally upset and horrified at waking up to their governments inability to fund itself, but truth be told we haven't funded ourselves in decades. Not since Andrew Jackson in fact back in 1835! We have incessantly incurred more and more debt to spurn economic growth that it's now become a national pastime, a racket of convention. It's literally a Ponzi scheme that is setup to make a tiny percent prosper. A pyramid of haves, and have nots. A ideological machine that gobbles up finite resources in order to metastasize human productivity. We have our heads too buried in the virtual thought calabra of blogs and facebook to be taken seriously by those merrily robbing us. Those folks are the ones smiling every time the fed says they will continue to pump and ease interest rates, the same ones that are relieved when the debt ceiling is increased, the same ones that smile when the petrodollar is forced onto the Middle East oil barons. They are robbing farmers, mechanics, nurses, teachers, truck drivers, salesman, secretaries, and all the rest by subtly stealing their buying power and giving it to the ones with Lear jets and offshore bank accounts. Political power is fully vested with this national mafia. You don't pay, we destroy your life. You still don't pay, we destroy those that will.
So you think the Republicans are awful for making demands, than I say where's the better leadership from their opposites, the Democrats? Where's a balanced budget that would begin to pay the debt (not just the deficit by way of reducing interest rates on said debt) and deal with this nations long term unfunded liabilities? Instead, we get more borrowing, more use of capitalized medicine to rape people when they are at their most vulnerable (Obamacare) - it does nothing about actual treatment and drug costs which is the root of what's impossible for people, more debt spending to falsely produce a positive GDP, and continued shenanigans from the Fed to continue 2% annualized inflation to pretend we have a real economy. Based on that why shouldn't this government shutdown? Why shouldn't the elected GOP (however repulsive they may be to some) - the people put them there by way of a vote - withdraw consent to incur more debt? Why shouldn't we realize that we're dependent on the petrodollar? Because the old will suffer? Because the gov proles, obedient to the nationalistic fervor that is unwarranted patriotism over illegal wars and global atrocities, won't get a paycheck? Yeah, I care about people, but I also care about a living world too. I care about peace and forgiveness. I care about communities who are instead acting like government two stepping serfs. A ugly painful default is exactly what we need to wake people up and stop the global engine that's melting our glaciers and ice caps, an engine that is sending us all straight to McCarthy's road. Enough is enough.
I have no illusions that the same political parties won't bargain before it's too late, and they will because they're too scared of the consequences. I'm too scared of the consequences if they do. We should all be too scared, but we're not. We're continuing to take sides politically by blaming one side or the other, and this right here shows who really wants to do what is necessary to stop the planetary genocide. It's definitely not the Republican ideology, and neither is it the Democrats hiding behind the poor, the minorities, and the old to justify the continued rape of the planet and the petrodollar murders.
You support this government, you are supporting hell on Earth for the whole. It's well past time we find a way to stop our support and withdraw consent. It's totally peaceful to do so. As Dignity said, it's a state of mind that we believe we need a functioning government to carry on. Carry on with what? Carry on with Capitalistic destruction so we can continue to be clowns and baffoons over trivial nonsense and shopping? The old don't need a government check, they need us. They need their people, the person next door to step up to the plate and honor them with compassion and service. That's the nationalistic campaign I'd like to see. That's the real pride of a nation when its people say "HELL NO," we won't support anymore bombings, anymore Wall st ensurient swinishness, anymore consumption for the sake of clean water and air, anymore spying of our citizens, anymore imprisonment of our distressed shut out people's, anymore desperately sad forays into our warp societies uncaring corpulence, anymore maddening incidences of mass shootings, child raping, shooting down innocents, gang banging glory hoping street thugs, and Takeisha's litter of twelve for the sake of this month's need for bling bling. It's time we say "no," we won't pay for that. We won't pay unless we are obeyed by the rich minority. It's we that have made them rich by our consent to be pilfered. It's we that have left our brother out in the cold needing a government check. It's we that have said, sure, go ahead, I'll pay. It's not enough to say, "well it wasn't me, I have no choice, I'm nobody, I'm the minority," that's the trick of the matrix, the trick of the tube, the programming, that vices our embroglio to do nothing.
Many people do exactly that, we withdraw consent and live below the radars. It's not enough though. We need to campaign it, to do everything possible to usurp the financial support that enslaves us, and most importantly we must support this shutdown. I support this shutdown. Not because of the GOP masquerading as being fiscally conservative, but because letting things continue is suicidal for all of us. For the entire world. Economic growth is murder.
