While #Congress & the presidency have been working hard to raise the #ExecutiveBranch above the #law, #SCOTUS has done its part to ensure that laws against #bribery & #corruption are near-unenforceable. With a series of rulings on #CampaignFinance, the #JohnRoberts Court has ensured that the #rich can try to buy #elections without formally breaking the law. As a result, #politicians are #indebted to a few hundred #billionaires who drop unholy amounts of cash every #election cycle.

Why northern #Europe is so #indebted - #TheLoop

"If we consider #ConsumerCredit, the #welfare-#debt theory makes sense again. While consumer credit is more the exception than the norm in Europe, and almost absent in the #NordicCountries, it is common in #Anglo-liberal countries (#UK, #US and #Canada) where it is used by families as a substitute for poor #welfare provision."

But debt takes on different forms, writes Martino Comelli, and gerontocratic welfare and consumer credit is a burden for those in other nations

Despite how #talkingHeads in our media like to #virtueSignal by showing support for open-borders, it's not a great thing for the vast majority. Currently the west has a type of "open borders".
