The ruling class in America no longer gives a flying shit about the health of the American economy or its competitiveness or any other such nonsense. They are in a resource-extraction phase and from the look of it they are just getting warmed up.
Whether that works out it anyone's best interest in the long run is forgotten as everyone at the top is just scrambling to grab whatever they can.
So, what they "realize" has nothing to do with it.

Never mind if the number is still in the billions, or if you had to destroy the economy to get on top.
