The EU and USA are the USSR

A few days ago I read an article about a woman who has $250,000 of student loan debt; $100k of that is interest and penalties. I think her scenario epitomizes the condition of the western world.

Money took over for common sense and skill quite a while ago and it rotted the whole framework of "the system" out maybe decades ago. People are foolish from top to bottom, from Presidents and Prime Ministers and their advisors down to poor suckers like that in debt lady. The people in power have no idea what they are doing, except when it comes to lining their pockets and making sure they get paid. They are a carbon copy of that woman. When the politicians and corporations and think tanks need money for their stupid plans and schemes it's always there... but they have no way to pay the bills.

There's whole departments in colleges and universities that are there to harvest the life energy of people like that lady who is in such massive debt. They provide no answers to life's problems for their students, so what chance is there that something like a sociology department and its collective "brain power" can solve the problems of poor people? I think a big fat zero. In spite of that, they always have money to teach people useless skills.

The difference between the common person and the people in charge is those in charge know how to harvest the masses--fleece them or slaughter them. They've got no good plan, no extraordinary talent or foresight, but they are able to con the people really well.

This whole mess is possible, by the way, because the USA "won" the cold war. The US and EU countries were able to keep their giant, bloated WW2 era bureaucracies and government programs. They are the former USSR. Now it's all collapsing and will soon be a total free-for-all.

The people in power are trying to save themselves, and they'll sacrifice everyone else to do it. How long will the common people play along?
