\"\" We are on a debt-financed primrose path terminating in poverty and want, to say nothing of thermonuclear war.<\/p>\n

As I write this, Americans are going to the polls to vote for this or that faction of the corporate uniparty. Einstein was right when he said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Every two years, Americans vote for the same uniparty selected candidates expecting the serious issues of inflation, crime, drugs, etc. to be addressed, only to get broken campaign promises and more of the same.<\/p>\n

Ukraine is hardly on the radar\u2014and yet tens of billions of dollars added to an astronomical debt, conservatively estimated at over 30 trillion, will not go to help the American people. It will be spent in one of the only growth sectors of the economy\u2014\u201cdefense,\u201d where death merchants embrace windfalls\u2014and the destructive, poverty-inducing policies of the federal reserve and central bankers will continue to be explained away as corporate greed.<\/p>\n

In fact, the neocons and \u201chumanitarian (sic) interventionists\u201d are pushing to increase weapons sales. \u201cBill LaPlante, the Pentagon\u2019s chief weapons buyer, said that he expects Congress to grant the authority to allow wartime purchasing power at a level not seen since the Cold War,\u201d writes\u00a0Dave DeCamp<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To continue arming Ukraine, LaPlante has been calling for the Pentagon to be granted the authority to lock in multiyear contracts for weapons purchases, which are typically reserved for procuring naval vessels and warplanes. The idea is to get arms makers the incentive to ramp up production.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congress will not seriously address\u2014except during elections\u2014rising crime rates, an opioid crisis, the dissolution of the middle class, and out-of-control inflation (now 20%<\/a>, not the \u201cofficial\u201d number of 8.6%). Inflation is driven by a \u201cloose\u201d monetary policy and the foolish injection of trillions of dollars into the economy to mollify an increasingly grumpy populace during a blown-out-of-proportion pandemic.<\/p>\n

If you read the \u201cnews,\u201d however, you get the impression inflation is created by greedy corporations. Democrats love this\u00a0fallacious explanation<\/a>\u00a0peddled by the corporate media.<\/p>\n

During a recent House oversight subcommittee hearing, Rep. Katie Porter, D-Calif., pointed to data from an Economic Policy Institute report which found that more than half of the increased prices people are paying are coming from increases in corporate profits, and not from higher overhead costs associated with operation and labor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In other words, this Democrat suffers from either a) stupidity and an inability to comprehend economic theory\u2014which you\u2019d think would be part of her job\u2014or b) lying to divert attention away from the real culprits, the ruling financial elite.<\/p>\n
