>I think it's working exactly as intended, to siphon wealth off to the ruling class. Intended according to who? The founders? The central banks? Creditors? It’s all an experiment. Capitalism is. Consumer debt is. To think anyone intends the economy to work as it is (government shut down, debt across the board at record highs, defaults at record highs, economic bubbles, mass fraud, etc...) is pretty crazy...but that’s my point, good luck finding a politician to speak that way, much less being able to mobilize the government to correct these issues. It’s pretty easy to get caught up in the idea it’s working for you. I take it youre not one of the federal government employees living paycheck to paycheck as a political pawn? Is that the way the economy is really intended to work?
