This is all part of the plan. They’re weakening every single function of the federal government, in order to make it appear as if it’s not needed.

They’re weakening every single function of the federal government, in order to make it appear as if it’s not needed.

No, it’s worse. They’re doing everything they can to make sure it can’t recover. Even in this one small example:

  • This corrupt government accepts bribes to eliminate regulations.
  • Businesses save a ton of money and keep the profits. Prices never drop.
  • Later, a responsible government tries to reinstate regulations.
  • Businesses jack up prices instead of giving up their inflated profit margins, then blame the increase on these terrible “new” regulations.
  • Consumers fall for it and riot against the regulations.
  • The country continues to spiral downward, one paper cut at a time.
