That would be a stupid mistake on their part. They would need manufacturing (resources) to generate tax revenues for big government. They have nothing in this dying "service industry" with which to control. As the situation is now, they have their foreign communist government friends to keep their bipartisan debt regime going a little longer.

I think they believe once the system is crashed they can "remake" it into their ideal economy. The average citizen is of no concern to them. Throw in a few depopulation efforts and they can have a "manageable" population. The people they're rallying are just useful idiots. They'll be discarded once the leaders achieve their aim.

They can't make an economy without heavy manufacturing, especially with their lack of technological knowledge and experience. The government is already headed toward default, and the economy is already crashing, according to the private historical economics (macro-economists) and other investment advisors. The flight to commodities is evidence of that, commodities being the historical risky route. A horde of social lefties (all who are now prominent in politics) won't rebuild the economy into anything.

FRiends, grow a garden. Make something useful. Do some real work.

Hard working, socially traditional American families, freed by the crash, will rebuild the economy. That's what the propagandizing, contemporary, socialist, sexually confused politicos are now so afraid of. Thus, the current, hysterical distraction propaganda.

  Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
     Hysteric.] (Med.)
     A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women,
     in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
     exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
     so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
     the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
     paroxism or fits.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
           the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
           and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
           throat. The affection presents the most varied
           symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
           diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
           alone. Hysteric

So there's a lot of debt, and big government is about to shrink (and those union jobs along with it, see public education, social work, other means of control against working families). Okay. That's fine.
