Interesting post, you do a nice job juxtaposing the financial figures with the war machine (always the biggest line item in the budgets).

I've come to the point where I simply fail to understand what all of these figures produced by the government are supposed to mean. There are no boundaries for creating money, spending money, allocating money, lending money, etc. How can there be any discernible meaning in a concept that has no concrete boundaries?

We live in increasingly strange times where money has no value, words have no meaning, humans are not accountable for anything and the politicians keep circling this bloody mess of confusion snapping up at anything that smells like opportunity. How long can this possibly go on for before the flow of the economy's lifeblood (its currency) locks up, people awake, and realize that they are playing a strange charade of human interaction. They are simply being goaded into using their time and effort to prop up a reward system that is designed to work against them. Nothing is real, nothing has any real value. I don't even mean to sound pessimistic, it just seems obvious at this point...what is the end game? How long can the powers-that-shouldn't-be use smoke and mirrors to trick people into participation in a neo-feudal society? What finally breaks a fraudulent system?
