It's no "conspiracy" nor are they fools.
They are very smart and know exactly what they are doing. It's "business as usual" with unlimited funds to hand out in the way of contracts to the military industrial complex and every "program" that they can think of.
People get filthy rich from it. And IF anything they do actually helps the American people...it's totally unintentional.
It's the normal way in Washington D.C. (deficit spending).
That's why every President that I can remember has campaigned saying that "Washington is broke and I'll fix it".
Then they get into office and...business as usual.
And look where it's landed our country. War after war after war. Occupying other countries. Invading them without declaring war. National Debt at 18 trillion and growing.
Jobs lost to other countries. Lowest percentage of adults in the work force. More people on foodstamps than ever before. Getting searched at airports. Police militarized and killing unarmed citizens.
No, there isn't a "conspiracy". And the lifetime bureaucrats who live like Kings and Queens are not "fools" either. They know exactly what they are doing and the federal gravy train just keeps on rolling even though the country is in horrible debt.
