In the several plagues during the centuries following the fall of the Roman Empire through the 18th century, medicine men and women, healers, witches and doctors would bleed people until they died. That is what the collectivists are doing today. The bankers, politicians, government elites and globalists are like those malpractitioners of old, they want to bleed money (i.e. debt) from economies until they die. They learned nothing good from the Great Depression or the Weimar Republic. Massive government welfare programs and draconian government actions further weaken a weak economy and set the stage for hot war.  The collectivist believers in large central government must step back, remove the controls, stop the bailouts and let people do what they need to do.  But they will not do that.  They will continue to bleed the patient, unless the patient wakes up, realizes what is happening to them, and ejects the witch doctors.
