America is the birthplace of neoliberalism, but it is rapidly infecting the rest of the world as well. By denying government's ability to spend its sovereign currency for the public good the politicians have forced the people to fund their own economy and government with bank debt.

Private sector bank debt cannot net retire itself, so public money is only issued in sufficient amounts to make interest payments and those are gobbled up by financial institutions. This demands a constantly growth in GDP to roll over as much private debt as possible. This creates massive inflation without generating any benefit for the working class.

The key to defeating this evil ideology is not in voting lesser evil choices. It lies with the people becoming literate in their own economic system and demanding a return of government as a "service". This means resisting the econ myths of the defunct gold standard and the liars that promote them.

The most affluent economy in the history of the world should not be intentionally killing its citizens to enable corporate profits. Until we recognize this "murder by proxy" the political class is perpetuating in the pretense of "sound finance" it will only get worse.
