(62,325 posts)to Argentina, and then read Naomi Klein's 'Shock Doctrine'. And then do some research on what the same criminals have been doing to third world countries for decades to see just what a disaster these policies are for millions of people.
Then go read about Latin America and how they have finally emerged from under the disastrous thumb of the Austerity mongers.
After that see how, after devastating the Third World they moved to the Second World and now they are destroying the First World, see Europe.
They steal the sovereignty from nations, as they have done to Greece and Ireland and every other country they forced into debt them 'rescued' with the IMF and the The World Bank creating overseers of sovereign nations removing their independence, plunging their populations into poverty and suffering and even death.
And now they are trying to do it all here.
And we have only a few elected officials willing to stand up against these policies.
Every time you hear about 'sharing the sacrifice' you should view it as a declaration of war by Global Corporations against the people and that is how t they need to be approached, as the enemy. Because they are. And so are any our elected officials who push these policies on this country. They are not our friends, they do not care about this country, they are after the country's resources, as always.
