We really are through the looking glass on economic theory. We can print and print and print and spend and spend and spend, and inflation remains negligible. Nobody wants to be left without a chair if the music stops, so everyone sucks it up and plays on.

They just take more and more of the pills that make you smaller and smaller, to go deeper and deeper into the lost realm! Every once in a while they will take a pill to grow, but only until the need to shrink comes back to the top!

There is no way to easily repeal and remove the various layers of corruption, fraud, rules, regulations, laws and backroom deals that got us to this level!
