Think of what it takes to keep the Fed afloat, anons:
Constant inflation is the root of many evils
Housing costs must always go up, so people don't walk away from loans. How do you keep costs increasing, though?
*Pack people in cities for population density (crime)
*Let immigrants flow in (moar crime)
*Regulations to increase costs (nanny state)
*.gov backed loans
How do you get people to borrow even moar?
Drive up medical costs:
*Fix base price with medicare allowable
*Force providers to charge cash patients 25% moar
*Let insurance companies drive retail price up with deep discounts (think $14k vs $600 for two hours of anesthesia)
*Force people to buy insurance
Drive up education costs:
*.gov grants → tuition increases
*.gov backed loans → tuition increases
*Affirmative action → higher enrollment
*Licensing + protectionism → 2 year entry level goes to 4, and then 6
Increase transportation costs:
*Car safety regulations
*Fleet mileage requirements
*Emissions requirements (muh clean diesel cost 2x moar and uses 30% moar fuel)
This just scratches the surface of the crap necessary to keep the fed afloat.
