ECONOMIC DELUSION

POSTED ON JUNE 5, 2018 BY CLAYTON SEEK

You know the U.S. financial system isn’t made to benefit the average American citizens when the economic experts in corporate media spew in unison the same rhetoric for a stronger economy. They usually boast about lower unemployment rates, rising job markets, and a stable financial sector. This is just echoing a narrative for the less informed masses to digest but the question is who really benefits from the experts’ proclamations? If we asked the average citizen if their economic situations were improving they would disagree, we concur!

Economy = Echo-no-me

Next time the economic experts speak in the corporate media about how this country’s economy is improving, pay attention to what they are not saying. Outside the media’s “feel good” message, the fact is the U.S. economy is not healthy for most Americans. The national debt is now over $21 trillion, there are over 100 million unemployed Americans which is almost half the workforce, and the dollar is fiat money based on nothing which is the cause of rising prices, (inflation). Yes, there are some who still prosper under this current economic condition, especially the corporate financial system but at whose expense? Some of the other benefactors from this economic downfall also include the few middle-class Americans left in this country. They would claim that their financial status is stable, which may be true for them but this group’s number is shrinking rapidly!

When the middle-class sprouted in this country, many Americans began to share some of the country’s wealth. After the 2008 Financial Crisis that caused the decline of the middle-class and the funneling of wealth to government and corporate oligarchs. Those who are currently under the middle-class umbrella can sometimes be blinded by their own success and not be aware of the eroding economy because they only see from their myopic point of view. As long as these detached folks have disposable income, bread and circuses they won’t have any concerns about the decaying economy while the world burns down around them. Meanwhile, their children and the next generation won’t be able to achieve the same success their parents have because the future economic system will prove to be disastrous. Today more than ever college students are drowned in school loans with little hope of finding careers to pay back their debts. That means in the coming years there will be more 30 to 40 year old adult children living with their "successful" parents. Yes the economy is doing well, just not for the many.

$21 Trillion National Debt

As of June 2018, the U.S. National debt is over $21 trillion even though most American citizens weren’t responsible for this ridiculous unprecedented expenditure the onus to pay it is placed on their backs. How did this happen? When both the U.S. Federal and State governments are allowed to spend money they don’t have and demand taxes from citizens to pay their outrageous expenses, it’s no wonder the national debt is out of control. When concerns from the public are raised against the insane government spending the solution from the abusers is to raise the debt ceiling to keep the fraud going. This is their license to continue their money racket at the cost of the tax payers. Raising the debt ceiling, as a so-called solution is as absurd as increasing an irresponsible teenager’s credit card limit every time they max out their account with debt. Irresponsible spending wouldn’t be tolerated with teenagers but yet it’s okay for the clowns in government.

100 Million Unemployed Americans

When almost half the U.S. workforce population is unemployed how can the economy be healthy? This information isn’t made known to the masses by the corporate media because that would reveal that the economy is dangerously fragile and held together by illusion. Instead, a relentless bogus “Unemployment Figure” of 4%-ish is the media’s go to angle to cover-up the truth about the poor job markets. Unfortunately, the jobs that created the great middle-class in America aren’t coming back any time soon. With high inflation, jobs gone over seas for cheaper labor, relaxing immigration policies to bring more people into this country’s weak economy, and the rise of automated robots to replace workers, expect to see more Americans struggle financially in the near future.

Baseless Fiat U.S. Dollar

The U.S. dollar’s value is now based on a delusional belief system. Currently, the dollar isn’t backed by anything of tangible value. Basically, the dollar is almost worthless. Some will argue that the dollar can’t be worthless because they still are capable of buying consumer goods but now it takes more money to make purchases compared to years before. That is inflation and explains why prices keep rising. It proves that the U.S. dollar continues to lose purchase power. At one point in American monetary history the dollar was under the Gold Standard until President Nixon ended that. Now it’s only a matter of time until Americans realize just how broke this country really is. The “mix masters” of propaganda have attempted to conceal the pending economic doom by concocting enemies abroad to go to wars against. A typical tactic historically excised by decadent empires to save their crumbling economies. The U.S. is just the latest of many corrupted empires to collapse under its own weight.

Next time the experts make claims of a booming U.S. economy, the question is who benefits? Until the insane government spending ends which is responsible for the National debt, the over 100 million Americans find solutions for their unemployment status, and the fiat U.S. dollar is backed by commodities, expect the economy to keep declining. The numbers for American middle-class will drop, the average citizens will continue to struggle to make ends meet, and the government and corporate oligarchs will keep consolidating wealth from Americans losing their own financial freedoms.
