Back during the darkest depths of the Great Depression, Comrade John Maynard Keynes penned his Socialist manifesto "The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money", as to how unionized nurses and school teachers would ultimately take over the world.
Eighty years later and what have they wrought?
They successfully collapsed union participation to an all time low:
They successfully concentrated all wealth in the hands of 1% of the population, that for some reason didn't include them (we didn't say Socialists were smart, did we?):
They convinced Ronald Reagan and the Ponzinomic Neocons that you can borrow your way out of debt:
"Reagan proved deficits don't matter" - Dick Cheney
And they maximized profits while collapsing wages (% of GDP):
All while outsourcing the economy to China in exchange for *special* dividends.
Not bad for nurses and school teachers.
This wasn't a Keynesian plot, it was a failed experiment.
