Then take half the soldiers from bases across the globe back home? That way they could help the economy by working. Then increase COLA by 50% after the first year? Would that drop prices and gas prices and so forth would that make American prices drop considerably? Or what is the sure fire gurantee to get prices back to normal with out Corp gouging and gas under 2 bucks a gallon?

      No, because the sabotage of the last decade will take at least half a century to repair.

      Other countries have already started to figure out how to depend less on the US. It’s that dependency that was artificially lowering prices in the past.

      If you learn how to jiggle the keys to power, and jiggle them masterfully in a way previously unseen in history, essentially being the ultimate and most eponymously mythical of benevolent dictators…

      Yea, it would. Until you die.

      Then we’re back to the same paradigm. Because it’s the whole system itself that is a hodgepodge of both human nature and direct perversions thereof, and not inherently its outputs.
