It's the socialism, stupid.

There’s a political saying that I believe originated around 2000: “it’s the economy, stupid”. And while it is true in many respects, it is, in many respects, a deception. Anyone can use it to justify whatever government policy they believe will work. And therein lies the rub. For the truth of our current morass lies not in the economy anymore than one’s illness lies in a cough. It is the cause, stupid. The cause of the bad economy is what matters. And in the case of the bad economy, the cause is socialism. That cause has been gradually increasing for over 50 years, and it is now hitting a tipping point. In the past, the cure has been a reduction in the speed at which we move toward socialism. But this time, the opposite is true. We have sped up the move to socialism, and we will reap its benefits. We will not see any recovery. Things will get undeniably worse, and the numbers will crash. The solution will then become a redefinition of “economy”. Economic numbers will be revised, and their criteria will change to make socialism look beneficial. But the depression that will come, as Dick Morris terms it, the catastrophe will not be hidden behind numbers. And the end result will be mass social disorder, and the ultimate end of the current system.
