My thinking is not tied to the Bread and Circus of the entitlement society. The rise of entitlements is more symptomatic than causation. As opportunity slips away entitlements rise to fill the gap.
The US after WW2 picked up and carried old English mercantilism to new heights creating an intertwined Global Economy of Scale. A wag might say that it is based upon USD imperialism at it's foundation. Upon this USD I build my church. Now some people might really chafe at that one but they suck off the teat of the largess that it has provided them.
Numbers are only snap shots in time. I have always taken economics as being a human endeavor and therefore organic in nature. Markets and economies react on emotion and sentiment. Thee is no way to quantify that, it is all subjective. If you can figure out the collective emotional sentiment well then.........
