I fully agree with you. A political class that doesn't want to give up its chair, its power. To the citizens the crumbs.. and the taxes to pay.

i would say maybe the boomer politicians are to blame. the average boomer was just born, got a job for life, and had purchasing power but they didn't have any control over it.

got a summer job, paid for all their college and then had money to start a family early 20s. they just went along with the blueprint.

but the boomer politicians that decided to come off the gold standard and move to a fiat world are really the ones who made the system of destruction possible

is the state of malaise a world-wide thing?


We can say that if our generation faces all these problems today, the boomer grandparents' generation was partly to blame. 
We are left with a huge public debt, skyrocketing living costs and wages that do not match the times we live in. 
Clearly I'm generalising, but European countries are going through this phase, my country, Italy, too.
