I mean, if things get out of hand the government can impose wage and price controls, and then indexation, and then take over the means of production, and then nationalize and ration health care, and then set a life span limit for all but the elites, and of course send dissenters to re-education gulags. Is there a mandate to follow this course and pass a 5+ trillion dollar spending payoff to one party’s base? Do our politicians care? Not one wit as long as they get re-elected. Lord Keynes was correct, in the long run we all die… but of course he had no children. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
