I had hoped that this Greater Depression would lead to elimination of government waste (here in NJ a lot of the most recently-hired cops & teachers lost their jobs because there was no money left); apparently this isn’t happening on a national or federal level. The strain is really showing here in NJ, where the infrastructure is falling apart and there is no money left to fix (and each day less & less people to tax for the repairs). The people making money are those that align wheels and repair windshields; it is like driving in Mogadishu...
eventually, there will be no sidewalks, no parks, no zoos, no decent roads, no trails, no libraries, no nothing....
when all the money you collect goes exclusively to the govt workers and their retires, there is nothing left for anything else...
