Money is not the issue. The way they are handled and looked upon is. As a .ashfield said there is inflation just that we use all sorts of methods and stats to hide it. The people hiding it are the same as the guys that said banks do not need to pay interest that way they can get out of bankruptcy without any shame. Call them central bank or something else. If I remeber right the US does not have a central bank so . . . the name is irrelevant. Of course the people who handles the large amount of money. which they can skim in fiftyeleven different ways without it is visible at any stage, they like status quo. The good thing is that they are as little aware, because they have no interest to find out, that there is technology that can replace them and there 'service' in a heartbeat without losing anything in any regard. Someone said that we can wit for the revolution. Yes, that is true and the loser is . . . To seriously say that one is in politics for the better for the nation in general is a joke if you do not deal with issues like: totally insane and outmoded and tax laws, a military that has its own agenda, a welfare system that cost almost as much to administrate as it provides, etc. Nobody comes up with straight forward answers. Donald Trump takes points by being upfront. I have not many pluses fro him but that is something the politician should learn from him. We are hearing the internal drama between our servants (the politicians), which mostly is noise to mask that they really do nothing to solve apparent problems. I think there is great proof of inflation among governmental offices. To get a copy of my "Naturalization" (just the name) document cost more than it did to get the original a decade ago.I am sure governmental fees are not included when they calculate inflation. I also think that Alain's references have a lot of merit. In the colonial time it was possible to hide the 'rich' world . Today we have so good communication that there is no protection for discrimination. Nationalism cannot take expressions and actions to separate nations. That idea is going to be dead long before we will see revolution. I agree with ashfield that there is a religious factor. Yes, but the fact that there is a difference of possibilities makes a good soil for such religious ideas to grow. This is not 1775 and some explorer travelling around the world and make colonies out of uninformed tribes. Now it is Microsoft explorer getting the information equally easy in both directions. If we go back to the 'dark ages' we had small kingdoms everywhere. It did not work to keep those kingdoms separate except fro a few (Lichtenstein, Luxembourg, San Marino) that verifies the rule and survive by being compliant. I agree that UBI is a possible solution. It actually have capitalistic philosophies and would reward initiatives. My only fear is that there is no good mechanism to handle the distribution. I know that becoming part of the government would make it without merits.
