"Living beyond our means" -- What means? The Banksters own our means.



"Means" something of instrumental value in order to achieve an end"



We hear the politicians pontificate and moan today about living beyond our means, and then go on about necessary austerity and cutting valuable programs and services and infrastructure development, and reducing our wages and standard of living, etc.



What means? The reason for this calamity is that we don't own the means. We are imprisoned by a private banking cartel who own the means to create and destroy both "our" money and credit. And because they own and control the means, they also determine our ends" which look bleak today due to the buildup of interest bearing debt we must borrow from a private cartel in order to run our nation, and determine our priorities.

3. Anyone who doesn't pay their credit cards off every month is living beyond their means

My parents did it on one lower / mid level government salary. We rarely drank soda and McDonalds was a big treat. Clothes shopping was a once a year event and we never went toy shopping. I don't remember picking out a toy as a child.

Everything I see nowadays is in excess of how I remember growing up.

We spend all our money on disposable crap.
