Brainwashed or Insane?

Have American's lost it? Are there so few of them actually capable of thinking for themselves that they can not see the catastrophic position the government is placing its citizens?

Are they brainwashed to beleive that unlike any government (people in power) they are uniquely benevolent.

Every government can be and has been benevolent when there is money available. That is not the case and all of the promises .. healthcare, medicare, social security will all be worthless without iron clad guarantees of indexxing to real inflation.

What likelihood is there of that .. they do not report real inflation, they do not report real unemployment ... what is the basket of goods they ues for inflation ... food and energy is not included ... lol ... they are too volatile roflmao.

Maybe it is me that is brainwashed into believing you have to work to make money, that you can't spend more than you have, that debt is to be avoided except for a necessity like a house and then you should only purchase what you can easily afford. Maybe I am brainwashed into believing that social structures breakdown when people have nothing and therefore nothing to lose. Maybe the USA is truly different .. that Nixon was not a crook, that countries in Central America exploited by US companies deserved their fate. Heck maybe the healthiest of human specimens who survived being brought across on overcrowded, disease and plague infected sailing vessels that took weeks to arrive so they could be sold to plantation owners as free labour are so lucky because they got fed and now live in the land of opportunity where everyone lives happily ever after. Maybe wiping out native American tribes and the buffalo was totally rational because those wealthy people who benefitted from all of these acts and whose families essentialy control the USA now would never betray today's people.

Maybe I am just insane .. maybe all of us worry warts should join the party ... loosen up and spend more than we have .. it will all be forgiven ... won't it?
