From my point of view it appears to be just another case of ‘kick the can down the road’. My question is why? Are they hoping for an economic or banking miracle? Or are the trying to delay as long as possible so as to remove their nest eggs from a failing system and therefore be set up for whatever happens in the future?
“My question is why?”
It’s real simple, actually. It’s all about allowing the current ruling elite to maintain their cushy elite ruling positions just a tiny bit longer. That’s all it’s ever about.
The reason why is because those who depend on or derive power from the rotten system in place CAN'T BEAR TO LET GO. These include the collectivists, central/international bankers, government wards (bureaucrats, retirees, welfare recipients, corporate contractor/donors etc.) and other various groups.
They'd utterly destroy ours and our progeny's hopes for prosperity before they'd give up one iota of the power, material gain, handouts and other benefits they suck from the current system.
They really, truly believe that paradise will be theirs if they can just get the rich to pay their “fair share.”
Nothing so complex. By “kicking the can down the road” it becomes someone elses problem x years in the future. Remember what Marie Antoinette said “Apres nous la deluge”.
