The Bush war debt and its purpose.

America is in debt trillions of dollars for Bush's wars, which was the plan. Debt is their business model. You cannot have "austerity" and disaster capitalism such as Michigan's Koch brothers "tea party" governor's "emergency manager" smash-and-grab without debt. The entire country can be smashed with this war debt, and it's not being discussed AT ALL. It will, eventually, when it's time to pony it out and tell everyone why "there's no money" for programs for the citizens of this country.

(Taken from my reply in another thread. Wanted an easy-to-find "told you so". Thoughts? And credit where credit is due: "Debt is their business model" is from The Illuminator crew's work, and the revelation that "sequester" etc. are only distractions from this debt, from a facebook meme.)

1. at an even deeper level, it's about Thanatos vs. Eros. And they've always been the party of Thanatos

All their politics stems from a profoundly life-negating world view.

They would rather spend money on death. It's in their blood.

3. Naomi Klein "Domestically Weaponized"

"The Shock Doctrine" in a handy pocket size for easy home use.

And it's not "satirized for your protection!"

4. I completely agree, this was their plan

The plan was to cripple the government, force austerity thus cutting the government to nothing but the military.

There will be no discussion on this fact because the media is complaisant in the process.

5. Wasn't it Reagan's budget director who admitted they ran up the debt on purpose so they

could have an excuse to attack social policies ?

There might be some deliberate long term strategy on their part.

Mostly I think it's just capitalists asking themselves "How can I get alot of money right now?". Since they own the politicians, too often the answer is they get money by looting the public treasury and running up public debt.

Americans have thought for a long time that we have a pretty high-quality democracy. But it's becoming clear this is just your basic banana republic and those are the rules that apply.
