By Ray Tapajna - American Dream fading away
It was better being a slave
There was a time in Rome when it was better to be a slave than a free person. Slaves at least had a roof over their heads and were able to get married and have a family to produce more slaves. Those who chose to be a free person had to live out in the open to escape being persecuted. Rome outsourced and insourced their jobs. The Greeks built their ships. The Roman money changers thought they could make Rome greater by having an economy based on making money on money instead of makings. Time ran out on them as it is doing in the USA. In Rome workers lost their skills and those who were doing the work inside and outside of Rome rose up against the state for the sake of their own economic survival
Today U.S. Workers have to accept "Mickey Mouse" jobs to survive and many are losing even these jobs. A person making only a $100 a month is considered employed. Those who gave up looking for work are not longer part of the unemployment statistics. Personal bankruptcy keeps breaking records. When workers lose their jobs, they think they can quickly get another one of similar value. They use their credit lines to survive. As time goes by they find that there are few jobs left like the ones they once enjoyed. It would have been better if they took the "Mickey Mouse" jobs faster and joined the working poor class. The period between 1945 and 1985 has prove to be the best economic model the USA has ever known. In the 1980s, companies start going bankrupt and the Savings and Loans went out too with many losing their personal wealth. The older generation were brought up to save and the hope was to have good interest bearing savings accounts when they grew too old to work. This hope died as the Federal Reserve kept lowering interest rates to promote the stock market. The stock market was affected and trillions of dollars of value was added only to have the stock market collapse with many again losing all their personal assets. Now we have a vast senior citizen class with not much more than their Social Security income with the trade offs of low interests rates and lost stock market values in the trillion costing many what it took a lifetime to save. It seems there is a "rob peter to pay paul" syndrome designed to bate and switch values as the Free Traders and Globalists- both Conservatives and Liberals trying to find new ways to shore up the economy. Our value added local economies are gone. Millions have drifted into a silent depression or joined the new working poor class. For more on the failures of Globalism and Free Trade see mobile user friendly summary of Ray Tapajna Chronicles that forecasted the economic crisis years ago with several experts that predicted the coming of the Bewildered New World
Sir James Goldsmith was one of the first to do it - in his book The Trap more than 15 years ago. You can do the same just by studying what happened to Rome.
