You bet, and due to insider government/banking corruption and reckless policies, we’ve been tumbling down the fiscal slop for decades.

Where did QE 1 go - to the banks
Where did QE 2 go - to the banks
Then the FED paid the banks to take the money , and even offered them interest above market value.
What did the banks do - they sat on it , or invested in ‘derivitives’ , whereby they leveraged that money, sometimes as much as 40 -70 times their value.
The banks gambled (derivitives) with tax money given them by the government.

Meanwhile , the Great Imposter verbally railled against the banks .
But you know where he looked for reelection money - from the very banks who got the money !
Don’t look behind the curtain ! There is nothing to see there !
Bullpuppies !!

Yep. Decades and decades of Grand Bargains by hacks on both sides,
past and present, have brought this country to the brink.
