There’s so much money flowing into Washington corruption, malfeasance and mismanagement are inevitable. The system is rotten to the core.

This is also why the Founding Fathers insisted on "money" being gold and silver, and ones like Jefferson fought bitterly against having a national bank / central bank.

Its been known for 1000s of years that a central authority that can print its own fiat money and create debt at will, will become corrupt and infested with rent-seekers.

As you probably know our obscene national debt is DWARFED by our unfunded liabilities (some $170 trillion, but whose counting?). The ability to simply print money has put this country in an untenable financial position. Future generations are being left with a giant bag to hold which is immoral as hell.
