12. It's Just Numbers
Honestly, these people don't see this as money...just numbers than can be generated and manipulated. There's no concept of the value of such things as a defecit or debt, since the money is taken now and the system is rigged so it can print more money when needed or raise taxes or squeeze interest rates when needed to milk more numbers.

The federal government is like a huge factory. It runs on dollars...and the numbers are so huge that it numbs those who work with it...even the biggest whistle-blower or best intentioned civil servant.

For this regime, it's a credit card that is spreading a lot of money to its special interests and they could care less since they, and their major supporters are immune to the real value of the numbers they play with. And since the majority of those who vote, vote for these assholes, the plundering has and will continue.

These are the last people who will ever feel from their actions. Most already have big nest eggs that means they won't have to rely on a SSI check or have to take two jobs in their 50s or 60s to pay the mortgage or rent. They're set...and their disdain is built on their only fear...that you and the "riff raff" will want what they have...and you're not gonna get it.
