the biggest danger to the system is budget surplus, the peace dividend was extremely threatening, luckily they can create wars and crises to increase debt and interest paid on printed money, furthering for 2 more generations their grip on the debt slaves. The only solution is repudiation of the public debt issued to pay money to a tiny financial clique, which by the way, is not American, but transnational overseas, mainly European and china-saudi,taibbi covers this up.

Political choices with taxpayers' money have been f%$&#ing us in the arse for a long time. Think Invade Iraq ($2-3 trillion), bail out investment banks (Taibbi's $18 trillion), maintain a way-too-large/extensive network of bases worldwide ($5 trillion per decade) and the poh folk get shafted.
