public sector greed

VDH gets most of it, but he leaves out the #1 thing that fuels TDS - public sector greed.

Trump represents the beginning of the end. In two generations the percentage of working Americans who have their income stream funded directly by the government or by regulations which create artificial demand has quadrupled with no appreciable increase in the quantity or quality of the things that government is supposed to do. Tens of millions (and their spouses) depend on no-fire, no-metric, no-anxiety jobs that were created in this Keynesian frenzy of madness which was fueled by the lack of courage of politicians in dealing with the end of the WWII peace dividend.

The day of reckoning - what Keynes called the day when "in the end we are all dead anyways" - has arrived. But the greedy publicly funded - arrogant conceited teachers and professors, thugs in alphabet agency clown farms, etc. - in their paroxysm of thuggish panic are signing on to and supporting anything that will delay their inevitable transition back into the dreaded private sector at vastly lower salaries, if only even for a few months or years.

The loons at the top and in media and entertainment would be nothing without this army of orcs at their backs.
