OPINION:
The middle class in America has been trained by decades of propaganda to accept the extremely simple-minded notion that we must spend ourselves mindlessly into the grave.
When inflation is up and we lose our freedom to buy whatever we want, whenever we want, we want to throw the majority party out, thinking we are doomed unless we do.
Isn’t it possible to cinch up our belts a little and open a few books to see how the democracies of the past, including our own, handled economic problems? Oh no, we must believe what the 1% class pours into our brains: that the only solution is to rotate national governance back and forth between two corrupt political parties.
