The Bush war debt and its purpose. [View all]

Last edited Fri May 17, 2013, 08:25 AM - Edit history (1)

America is in debt trillions of dollars for Bush's wars, which was the plan. Debt is their business model. You cannot have "austerity" and disaster capitalism such as Michigan's Koch brothers "tea party" governor's "emergency manager" smash-and-grab without debt. The entire country can be smashed with this war debt, and it's not being discussed AT ALL. It will, eventually, when it's time to pony it out and tell everyone why "there's no money" for programs for the citizens of this country.

(Taken from my reply in another thread. Wanted an easy-to-find "told you so". Thoughts? And credit where credit is due: "Debt is their business model" is from The Illuminator crew's work, and the revelation that "sequester" etc. are only distractions from this debt, from a facebook meme.)
