No, really. Liz Truss proved that it can happen to any party that's in office but not in power.
And that observation really sums up the state of play in politics all around the world - nothing is as it seems.
It is however illustrative of the folly of central banking. Not enough money from taxes for the government? So borrow more fake money (newly invented with a few keystrokes) from the Central Bank and repay the loan with interest (from genuine money from the product of the taxes on your labours). Central bankers like this because they make a killing.
Still in trouble? So borrow more fake money (newly invented with a few keystrokes) from a Global Bank like the IMF and repay the loan with interest (from genuine money from the product of your labours, via our obliging government's taxes). Global bankers like it because they make a killing.
Did you spot the problem yet?
Every "solution" involves syphoning real money out of the productive economy, either through real money taxes for the government to waste on vanity projects (or worse), or real money loan repayments for the bankers' loans of fake money, so depriving the productive economy of real money that could have been invested for future production. So the economy fails to recover because it cannot expand (or soon enough even maintain) rates of production, while the super-rich fly around from casino to casino in private jets ...
This is the so-called but by now wearyingly familiar "productivity crisis" which is always blamed on businesses' bad management.
Result? Doom loop where every "corrective action" results in a worsening of the situation. As night follows day.
(NB: This is not this financial advice - I cannot exclude their "hot tips" but you follow them up at your own peril!)
"Nobody ever ponders whether the economy is stagnant because of the government’s plans to reinvigorate it. Reagan said it best: 'A big businessman is what a small businessman would be if only the government would get out of the way and leave him alone.' " - Discuss.
Possible solutions:
- Tax less and reduce government spending so that it can live within its means, and the economy can actually invest for growth.
- Abolish Central Banks. Make the lending of fake money a criminal offence (it is actually deceit pure and simple).
- Abolish the government - this is the extreme version of item 1 above, but could we not live pretty happily without their incessant legislating regulating and general "do-gooding" interference in our lives?
- All of the above ... in phased stages so as to minimise disruption caused by returning government employees to the productive economy. The longer this is delayed, the harder it gets ...
- or maybe a "Great Reset" where we really will "own nothing and be happy" because all purchasing power will finally have been diverted to the criminals in charge and we serfs will get a monthly pittance that we can spend only as permitted by the CBDC - provided our monitored behaviour is acceptable to the bankers of course.
- and lastly, the unmentionable "Grand Fenwick" manoeuver (included only for the sake of completeness!).
Get conquered by Russia, which has demonstrated its ability to remove parasites from its own government, has allowed its economy to prosper (despite sanctions), is now well on the way to performing a similar cleanse of the Ukraine, and on current projections will likely have to do much the same with the rest of Europe in due course. This may however be regarded as a "High Risk" strategy ... and Russia herself may understandably decline our entreaties ...
Oh Wait! Perhaps this is actually policy ...
And finally, please don't "shoot the messenger" - there will be plenty of other culprits to pick on come the revolution.
