Vouchers galore.
$2,000 for a cancer operation. Vouchers
instead of direct payments from the government for Medicare with 2%
administrative costs. Turning over
Social Security to the money men of Wall Street so they can earn a tidy profit
gambling with our tax dollars. Cognitive
dissonance: let’s get rid of the post office despite cyberattacks and criminal
internet behavior. It’s going broke
because for some reason it has to prepay its pension obligations 85% a year. Why?
Ask Congress. They don’t know
either and they’re in charge.
Let the cool, pristine arms of technology dull our
gaze and atomize us. An internet
provider costs money. If you don’t have
any, you lose the ability to communicate.
You drop out of the human race.
No more domestic programs. No safety net, no food stamps, no Medicaid,
no Head Start, no SNAP. Sliding into
poverty and homelessness, the better to die out and stop being a nuisance.
No jobs.
Just blame the victims for their “lack of education”. They deserve to be obsolete. It has nothing to do with the fact that
America no longer has a manufacturing base or a strong labor movement. We are a service economy, which pays very
poorly and offers few benefits.
Without profligacy, there would be no
sacrifice. People are getting what they
deserve—formerly middle class people eating out of dumpsters. We, too, must be austere. Tighten our belts. We have to balance the budget on the backs of
the less wealthy and hence less influential.
Even though money moves from the poorer to the wealthy (transfer of tax
dollars to the private sector and VAT, sin taxes, the lottery—all of that takes
a bigger bite out of those with less), which is truly redistribution of income,
liberals are accused of redistribution all the time.
What happened to the middle-class version of
wealth and security, housing? It was
gambled away in the sausage machine known as securitization and filed in a
private system known as MERS. MERS was
set up and owned by the banks. Simply by
the nature of numbers (might makes right, saeth the judge) MERS eliminated the
public function of the county clerk and cogent research of title change.
That’s what’s known as “code is law”. Entities swap over and over the
mortgage-backed securities tucked into MERS until the titles for all the
mortgages involved are clouded and ownership cannot be proven. If you don’t have a clear title on your home,
you don’t own it and you can’t sell it.
The black humor of this is that many people aren’t told and don’t realize
their title is no good so they keep up mortgage payments on homes they might
not even own.
