... to halve resource use while doubling wealth"
This brings to mind two similar massive scam systems that have been implemented by exploiting the same basic formula; government run public education, and the USDoD system.
There is a direct straight line relationship between the increasing masses of illiterate students churned out by USG and the amount of extorted tax dollars increasingly pumped into this system since the mid 1900s under the banner of progressive education. The further back in time you look, you will see that during the times when less and less money was being funneled into this system, children were graduating secondary school with more and more intellect, more smarts and more values & morals. In other words, it takes a village of corrupt congress people pillaging their constituency in the name of "education" in order to turn out students by the millions unable to read, unable to perform basic match skills and unable to critically think for themselves....but the flip side is, these masses of increasingly illiterate children are unable to think but are exceptionally good at emoting, they know well how to flip on the tv when they are lacking motive or direction in life, they are inclined to indulge whatever deranged lifestyles floats their boat but even if don't they have been well trained to be tolerant of those who do. As such this makes them model global citizens.
If you look at the USDoD and the 30 year period known as the cold war hoax, you will find literally trillions of dollars funneled off the backs of taxpayers into the largess for the military industrial complex...... all those many many expensive high tech toys ostensibly for the defense of this country's "security interest" yet that system was taken down by the likes of .... (drum roll please)..... 14 towell-headed cave dwellers wielding tricked up razor blades ....... ?
