“It’s why I say there is no human solution to this.”

The only way to get this under control without a total collapse would be to ‘grow’ our way out. The problem is that growth requires incentive, and incentive is what this administration is best at suppressing. Who wants to work incredibly hard and make lots of sacrifices if at the end of it all you’re told, “you didn’t build that”, and “you aren’t paying your fair share”? It’s the common thread that runs through all socialist failures, the suppression of incentive.

That is why I believe there is no human solution. That is, other than a form of “growth” called inflation. And it would have to be huge.

The whole of western civilization is like a man who kept getting bigger and bigger raises and always borrowed even a little bit more to live the standard “to which he was acustomed.” Problem is that he eventually got to a $250 an hour job (with accompanying debt) and was laid off. And he finally found a job that pays $25 an hour. There is no $250 job out there and won’t be again. But the debt remains.

There will be blood. In fact, the cop they are searching for in California right now is the type of thing that increases under these conditions.
