What do the American people know about the economic dilemma in the USA. We know the prevailing dogma that the USA is the richest, most successful country on earth. We have a choice between two directions – we can form an independent opinion or a conforming opinion with what we see on TV or read in the daily wipe (which is slanted toward the Socialists/Muslim ideas.) The accountants and actuaries who are reviewing the statistics of the government seem to have no impact on popular opinion which is contrary to the effect they should have. Are they paid off?
The people are ignoring the government’s logic of double-entry bookkeeping. The facts are the government has UNFUNDED liabilities and debts with a present value of somewhere between $90 trillion and $205 trillion which is 1,500% of gross domestic product (GDP). If those are the facts, that makes the USA the poorest not the richest country.
Are people living in a Pollyanna world and are oblivious to the dire prospects of the country? The public seems to accept the lies and double-entry bookkeeping about the current state of the economy, particularly those that hinge on the mis-measurement and under-reporting of inflation.
Accept it, the government has been lying to you for decades!
The government and the lawyer politicians have hijacked your inborn inclination to conform your thinking to that of small tribal groups. They use this primal inclination to trim your opinions to those of the group to manipulate your perception of the economy in ways that jeopardize your future.
Both major parties who are constantly wrangling over the federal deficit have joined forces to save future trillions by further manipulating inflation adjustments on Social Security and federal pensions. In fact, the total federal outlays for Social Security are only half what they would have been if inflation were still reported by the same method used during the Carter administration.
In the end, the lawyer politicians will be manipulating the numbers again when the budget haggling starts up. They will tell us once again they can correct what ails the country by compounding the remorseless lies they have already told us.
Now, more than ever, don’t believe them because it is time to think for yourself. The lies are spilling over as to who is best to right the ship of corruption in this country. Who do you think would be best – another lieing lawyer politician, a low-keyed person like Fiorina or Carson or Trump who has world-wide experience in business and is crass when needed and will not bend with the wind.
I will leave it in your hands to THINK FOR YOURSELVES instead of what the tribal groups like the media or lawyer politicians who are lieing. If we continue on that dirt road we are now on – two things will happen – we will continue to be stuck in the mud spinning the news to think as a tribe as we now are OR use that tow truck that Trump is offering to pull us up and out of this quagmire. Your choice!
