This is so good. A true master class! Thank you for channeling your angst into this analysis, and I do hope writing it kept you from bursting.

Absolutely outstanding. A common sense explanation of relatively complex economics.

The Republican Party knows this. They hide it by diverting our attention to transgender people, immigrants and the so called “woke” ideology, while they pick the pockets of the least able to pay. The democrats have played along with their adoption of neoliberalism. Bill Clinton played the game. So did Obama. Both were funded by Wall Street. It was no accident that Eric Holder never prosecuted even one banker after the 2008 financial crisis even though the financial misconduct of Wall Street was obvious.

Now the money gods are the scumbag tech oligarchs. The Republican play book is to give these bums a tax break by taking healthcare away from children and the poor, and by the destruction of the very agencies designed to rein them in. What is happening in front of us is the greatest heist in the history of the US. The robbers are Bezos, Musk and Zuckerberg. Trump, Vance and Rubio are driving the getaway car.
