Why Are Americans Getting Screwed?

Perhaps…there is an alternative reason for Trump and Trumpian Republicans going full bore to eliminate social services for Americans. Their attempts at eliminating Medicaid, Medicare and Obamacare, their successful increase of taxes for Americans while lowering taxes for the Elite. Their ignorance of the climate change catastrophe and its continuing effect on our world. And their insistence on border building walls to prevent anyone trying to escape tyranny in other countries seeking asylum in ours.

These actions taken together beg the questions: How can these efforts help? How does eliminating affordable healthcare help Americans? How does ignoring the climate change catastrophe benefit the Elite? What is their endgame?

Our human instinct is to procreate; This Elite group of people must have an interest in their children being able to live and procreate just like all humans do. So, what is this mean-spirited push do for them?

To answer these questions clarifying our current predicament may help

First, our population is growing every year. The US population has doubled every fifty years since 1900. As this occurs, we are using more and more fossil fuels, consuming more and more nourishing resources, cutting down more trees to make room for more housing, driving farther and farther in polluting cars, discarding tremendous amounts of rubbish including copious amounts of plastic and other materials that take eons to decompose which then cause contamination at a microbial level. The resulting air pollution increases, food sources on land and in the oceans getting more and more contaminated, our soil becomes more and more contaminated, everyone will need more medical care to survive the degradation of our bodies inside and out at higher and higher costs.

Second point, our population is putting stress on every aspect of our environment. The general populace is attempting to push our governing bodies to step up and assist everyone’s desire to live a reasonably satisfying and rewarding life. Very irritating to the Elite! As Trump would say – Costs too much!

A simple but awful explanation for these manipulations on the general populace could be population control. By eliminating and/or making healthcare impossibly expensive for the majority of Americans, fewer people will be able to survive, only the Elite will survive.

The elimination of affordable social services creates a financial environment that is untenable. This will undoubtedly produce population numbers that will begin to recede. Perhaps at a tumbling rate.

Another possibility for the Trumpian Republicans to push the elimination of social services, is Greed. Greed is one of the seven deadly sins, should you believe in that sort of thing, and the foundation of Capitalism. A bird in the hand is better than no birds in the future. However, Capitalism depends upon willing and capable buyers for available goods and services. So today these elements are available. But for how long?

Looking towards the future the strategy of pulling supporting services from the populace (customers) will eventually hurt the Capitalistic businesses that are devastating our environment for the sake of a buck.

The Result of advanced medical availability and uncontaminated essential resources turns out to only be available for the Elite Capitalists.

Problem Solved for now! Catastrophe in the Future!

We all can do a better job of deciphering fact from fiction, of reality from bluster, and most of all truth from lies. Now is the time to pay attention.
