The center for the ideas for the powers that be have announced the American project is over, and cutbacks are coming. Gary North does a good job of covering it here. here is an excerpt from his article, quoting the CFR in-house periodical, Foreign Affairs.
The result will be an age of American austerity. No category of federal spending will be spared, including entitlements and defense. Taxes on individuals and businesses will be raised. Economic growth, both in the United States and around the world, will suffer. There will be profound consequences, not just for Americans' standard of living but also for U.S. foreign policy and the coming era of international relations.These guys are not fooling around. Their easiest targets for cutback is government workers, and their pensions. If you are a government worker, your no-risk option is to drive to full fascism. If America goes back to freedom, government workers will have to support themselves in their old age. If it goes to fascism, govt workers will live relatively well. Abusing power may bring on fascism, but in no case can an government worker get into trouble for abusing his power.
So while we have 250,000 salmonella eggs recalled, but no sanctions and no new laws on that, but we do have new laws, and a country-wide crack down on small farmers. The Seattle area is no exception, and Kurt Cobain's home town has a cheesemaker which is being destroyed by the FDA, backed up by armed US Marshals, taking pre-emptive action on the possibility that an award winning cheesemaker might have at sometime in the future, bad cheese.
Again, the theme here is indecency. The acts of these FDA clerks and their armed US Marshal back-up is indecent. Just because they have he power to do what they do, does not mean they have the right.
