Perhaps instead we could explore why projects that cost a million a few decades ago now cost a trillion. Same with necessities. Why is all the wealth of nations concentrated in such few hands? That isn't natural. Why can't kids afford college? Who is it that is sapping the life blood of the People? And why do we let them do it?

Because they've bought most of the Rep Party, and some Dems as well, and they've bought what used to be reasonably fair news outlets and let swill/lies be broadcast on outlets that reach millions of people who have no access to other outlets, because "Saint Ronnie" convinced millions that trickle-down economics (the one that the first Bush called voodoo) would benefit them and that those poor, poor millionaires needed all those tax breaks, income 300 times their employees, and deductions that the middle class couldn't take, that Bush 2 could fight 2 wars (one of them totally unwarranted) without paying for them, and then little old Gingrich convinced a good number of Reps that compromise was a dirty word and no true Rep would ever do that. Oh, and F* the future - the only thing that matters is getting the Tea Party, Trump, and everyone who panders to him in power forever.
