Only the most courageous among us see through the increasingly implausible lies we tell ourselves to obfuscate this truth. It is so much easier for us to fly to the next conference, rent a car, check into an air-conditioned hotel, eat at the air-conditioned restaurants, step over homeless on the sidewalks, and pretend that eternal growth will separate us from hard reality. Conversely, the least affluent among us keep on cheering President Trump at his endless political rallies designed to blind them from seeing the truth. My heart cringes when I see their enthusiastic faces and shouts. They should look at Trump with horror, because he is their demise, ruin and tatters.

Today, we live in a country where most workers do not earn enough to support a middle class family, and we are seeing the homelessness crisis spiral out of control in major cities on both coasts. During this election cycle, many conservatives have been freaking out that an increasing number of Democrats are openly embracing socialism, but the truth is that we are already most of the way to becoming a socialist country. In fact, as you will see below, more than half of all Americans currently receive more money from the government than they pay in taxes.

This is the inconvenient truth about GDP "growth":<br /><br />"Faster government spending accounted for nearly half of the acceleration, according to The Wall Street Journal analysis."<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />And yet even the Wall Street Journal missed the main point. Because they forgot to add in the tax cut itself. Which was ALL borrowed money. Where do they think "Consumer" and "Business" got all of the extra money to spend? Only a country with a reserve currency can get away with this many "free money" dumbfucks running amok.<br /><br />At $780 billion, the U.S. Federal deficit is 4% of GDP.
