Come on, the world's nations are broke, somehow they are ALL in debt (to each other and to their good-fer-nothing banks) and in the hierarchical loop their employers are us. The money needs to come from somewhere, and since it is only going to be spent on the nation the money itself is coming from... do you see where I'm coming from here? The only way money has any value at all is if it keeps moving, and thus spinning the turbines of the economy.

The choice comes down to this: make life a little bit more shit now so that it will no longer be so later, or make life slightly less shit now but shit for even longer than it would be otherwise.

And even this feeble attempt is more on the side of the latter than the former, because all anyone is interesting in is short-term payoffs rather than longer term ones, an attitude which is actually the very source of our current problems today.

So quit fucking whining when things go wrong,stop whining when we try to fix things, and for the love of god, don't you dare whine when our pathetic attempts at righting these problems fails. It's the incessant whining that stays our leader's hands from trying out solutions that might actually make a difference at some point.
