It used to be the President and other politicians had an incentive to at least try to keep the economy in good shape because it was necessary to keep hold of power. Now that we know 51% of America will blindly vote for a Democratic President even if he plainly fails by the economic standards he himself laid out, rising unemployment and misery are just opportunities to make more people dependent. Of course, eventually the well runs dry and those people will see their precious handouts reduced, but by then there won’t really be a choice so they’ll just take what they can get and accept it as the new normal.
I tend to think about things in small terms. It is easier that way for me.
My little company for example. If I pay everyone and only half generate revenue it will end.
This country will end.
The sooner the better.
