It Is Obscene
Last night a Cadillac commercial aired on TV. The enticement was, "STEP UP TO A CADILLAC, YOU DESERVE IT." They just don't get it, that game of upward mobility has gone away just as there is no longer a broad based American Middle Class. Americans are now facing poverty, homelessness and hunger as their future. the reality of it has only been postponed by FED printing and US government borrowing. Cadillac might as well be peddling Heroin.
American have gotten used to prosperity bestowed upon them by the Great American Post WW2 Prosperity Bubble. They thought it would never end, and lived accordingly high on the hog. Now Americans in particular are stuck with the reality that the USA is a BK nation with a negative net worth of 84T USD.
The seeds of the American Middle Class destruction were sown when Truman approved the Marshal Plan in 1948 to rebuild Europe and Japan economically. Americans funded and created their own competition. There was a reason why the Romans poured salt on Carthaginian land after they defeated them.
