the only truth criterion in this fucking joke of a system is that some idiot has enough money to buy and control a channel for repetition. it's lunacy that this neo-liberal horseshit is still circulating, gumming up stuff, posing ridiculous problems and even more ridiculous fake solutions. idiocy of epic proportions.
the problem, kids, is not spending. the problem is how spending is allocated. over 40% of outlays go to unnecessary wars and other programs associated with this farce called the "war on terror" which is nothing more than a meme that enables a conservative patronage system to continue to get funded. the problem is that tncs can avoid paying taxes by transferring capital across national boundaries. the problem is the transformation of capitalist geography enabled by a bankrupt, stupid ideology that has persuaded people that the only important variable in thinking capitalism is the circulation of capital and the interests of shareholders.
the more local problem is the bush tax cuts.
the problem is the entire policy logic that follows from the economic ideology central to contemporary conservatism.
