People mostly don't want the truth, and they certainly don't want to talk about consequences or necessary pain from decades of irresponsibility. Allow a natural recession instead of monetizing a fake recovery? Outrageous! Live within your means? Who would do such a thing when you can destroy the global reserve currency and buy some votes.

I think most people want to keep milking the collapsing system for as long as they can, for they're overly invested into that system's survival. Anything else literally scares them. It's why the politicians spout the same drivel year after year, right or left. They're just feuding over how to divide up the last crumbs.

The crumbs are running out.
