Financially Greece is wobbling like the lead domino in the European Common Market, threatening to collapse into Portugal, and Portugal into Spain, and who knows where from there. What was initially presumed to be a unity to strengthen the monetary system for member nations may actually bind the strongest financially to the fate of the weakest. Sometimes that’s what happens when the finest progressive minds come up with a plan.
Another giant bailout is in play, this time for a country “too big too fail.” It isn’t a matter of proactively attempting to save Greece. It’s more that the member nations are trying to defensively avoid being sucked down the same drain. The nervousness of the world’s money markets, including Wall Street, reflects that no one is yet completely confident that the proposed bailout fix will work. The problem? Runaway debt that Greece can’t cover.
There are very valuable lessons to be learned here. Unfortunately America seems to be learning none of them. We’re hindered with Harvard elitists leading us.
The root of the problem is socialism. In our country we can substitute the word liberalism, as they both seek the same outcome, a ruling class. Though it is a political system, financially speaking socialism is a process of governing that invariably bankrupts itself. It can produce no other long term outcome because socialism destroys motivation by its very design.
Socialism is marketed by a political party, in our case liberal democrats, like a product. It’s a government benefits sale package. It gains political favor and power by promising “have nots” a bigger share of the “haves” pie, by making free market profiteers give up more of their surpluses. This appeals to a widespread underclass seeking shortcuts to security, but the practical effect of this system is that it breaks down free markets.
When someone produces something, whether it’s money or marbles, and the state seizes the increase, inevitably that person stops producing. That’s human nature. People that produce move on to another place where the rewards of their labors are not seized by the state. Hypothesizing and postulating doesn’t change that truth. That’s just the way it is and ever shall be, amen.
Under socialism ( or liberalism ) productivity declines. Simultaneously the people receiving entitlements become less motivated to produce in an atmosphere where benefits are given to them. They don’t usually rise to build new enterprises. Usually they demand more benefits. The math is simple; when you promise to pay out more than you take in it leaves a mess. Then liberal elites create more government to rule over the mess their faulty design caused, but then that was the goal to begin with; to rule.
Socialists are promise givers rather than promise keepers. In modern times they pass laws that obligate the state to massive spending for entitlement and benefit programs. This spending forces borrowing to pay for the excesses. Since production decreases the doomsday is inevitable. In a nut shell that’s what ruined Greece financially, and that’s also the course of America right now. It is textbook liberalism. But notice the liberals remain in power.
In America under the banner of progressive change, this same liberal doctrine is promising the same shortcuts by the same methods, seizing control and profits away from the free market. We are running up unsustainable debt, enacting massive government benefit programs and establishing government bureaucracies to run them.
The promises are utopian, but the long term outcome cannot be a different one than what socialism always produces. Ruination.
The end is predictable. So why do these elites do it? Because they love to rule. They believe it’s their destiny. More than that, while it’s not an equal opportunity business, liberal elitism pays handsomely. Check it out. They get elected, control the lives of others, and become super rich. Try to find a poor liberal in the Senate or the White House.
In the end it’s all about the money. Liberal elitists believe what’s yours is theirs. And that’s not any better for you than it is for America.

Shortlink:
The world has become a dangerous place! Wars are extremely profitable for the ‘few’ with military sales and such. The 18 billion invested by the Saudis and the UAE is a nice chunk of change, ‘cha-ching’, but they’re not the only ones building up militarily. Russia and China also see the aggressive posturing of the U.S. as a threat… So they’re also gearing up for war. Basically, the way I see it, is that U.S. Mid East policies were initiated by secular Israeli Zionists years ago. Clever buggers, they’ve used part of the funds, trillions of dollars stolen from the American public, to bribe and coerce our, so-called elected officials into supporting their agenda. To put it in a nutshell, let’s ask ourselves who controls the World Bank, IMF and many of America’s financial institutions and industries? If we follow the money it becomes rather obvious. It’s the New World Order baby!
