Continuing the fiscal policies as exemplified by GWB and Conservatives, in a short time the US will have the ultra-wealthy, an enormous armed force with no real threats except the civilian community, some technocrats serving the wealthy and their corporations, and poor people.
There will be about 1% ultra-wealthy, 3% in the military, 6% technocrats, and the rest part of a very poor, inexpensive labor pool. 90%.
Those figures are estimates, true, and yet no one capable of reason denies the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the Conservatives what to accelerate that process. As they did under Bush.
The military has nothing to guard against except the interests of mega-corporations and the wealthy now. The last time the US was invaded was by an English-speaking country in 1811. And that war, as are all others, are about money.
The US has been an interesting experiment. And it’s downfall was built in to it’s beginning. The desire of men to avoid the greed and avarice of nobility, only to set up a system where greed and avarice again create the conditions for another revolution.
Ask yourself, for whom is the current economy “working”. Only the ultra-rich.
