Why isn’t anyone talking about the pension funds that have been cut before and will be cut again? Mainstream media, forget it. Governments, forget it. But even the alternative news barely touches it. For such a big issue, it’s quite disheartening to see the lack of information.
A strong middle class builds a community and a country. Without it, all that’s left is a printing press. In the U.S., and most of the West, we can see the fossil that is the middle class. It’s disappearing. It won’t return. Along with it, we can see the pension funds going along with it. They will take, take, and take, until there is nothing left.
