Fundamentals

i have a question for anyone…

Can this coming crack-up result in a revolution? Because i believe that the first priority of ANY government is to stay in power. A government will lie, print, falsify, obfuscate, delay, rush, change sides, go to war, sue for peace, surrender, assassinate, promote, or literally anything else to stay in power. Everything from the New Deal to civil defense, stems from this premise. And the fact is that many bad decisions have been made to stay in power.

If the premise is correct, and the government is faced with the possibility of being overthrown, then i’d like to guess at what they might do to prevent it. Because arguing whether Greenspan, Bush, Clinton, Democrats or Republicans caused this mess, is like Custer arguing with his officers over which Indian it was that shot the arrow that is now sticking out of his chest.

So once again, do think this coming crack-up could result in revolution or will it be something short of that?

Thanks for any guesses as to how this will end up..
