fiat money and the welfare/warfare State ultimately undermine the morals of society. how can it be otherwise? a bigger and bigger portion of the population becomes state-dependent. individual personal responsibility is eroded evermore over time, along with individual liberty. this is also why liberty is actually hard to sell as a political program- it entails too much responsibility. the ruling class has long ago realized this, and has thus fortified the status quo. however, as more and more wealth is consumed in the process, there is an unavoidable and likely highly unpleasant endgame looming (of which Greece is just now getting a taste).


my admonition: riots, food shortage, armed insurrection, better armed suppression, civil war ... all part of the menu
