When and why did it start?
Was it Johnson fighting for the MIC so he wouldn't end up like his predecessor?
Was it Nixon dumping the gold standard because he couldn't pay for the Vietnamese war?
Was it Reagan, whose policies brought deflation, until he threw all the money he could print at it.
How about Shrub, who had some quote about Reagan teaching us that that debt didn't matter.
Obama, who inherited Baby Bush's Bailouts, but did nothing to stem the flow.
Trump, who may feel that he should get his time playing in the sand box too.
I think we're seeing the end of the Petro-Dollar. Lots of pain to come, even if the MIC stays in it's box.
Why is Putin bad while MbS is just seen as a friendly despot who tortures his relatives, starves the Yemeni, visits Washington and buy's American Weapons?
