The political class and their corporate partners in crime are just blatantly looting the Govt and taxpayers for anything that is left. This is after running up $40 trillion in debt. Which let's be honest. A large amount of that also made it to this same corrupt group. It's just that back in the day, they had to scheme and play games to steal and ultimately bankrupt the Govt. Already going after Social Security too. At some point they will have run up so much debt and stolen so much money that there will be nothing left to take... Other than the ongoing corruption to maintain power and all the regulatory capture that keeps the fraud and corruption machine going... Which itself is being fed by all this imaginary money from the Federal Reserve. And the rest of us just pay for it while being increasingly unable to afford the cost of all the corruption and theft. Then due to these same assholes building systems and robots to replace labor, you're going to have fewer jobs and the ones that exist will be increasingly shitty as different roles are replaced as AI and robotics advances. All of those people will be looking to a welfare safety net to literally stay alive. And the response from social security, and all the other programs will be that there is no money for it. Where did it all go again?
