"Core argument: the US government is not the enemy of Americans. It is a behemoth filled with people with largely good intentions who have very different ideas of what is good for AMericans, but the vast majority of actors have the best interests of the country at heart. Actions that are reprehensible such as the invasion of Iraq, the Vietnam war, and mass imprisonment have largely been carried out in the interest of making American a better and safer place. Some reprehensible actions have done so, some have not. The US government is largely a force that benefits Americans by steamrolling other nations and forcing them to enact policies favorable to the US economically, which benefits many Americans. Our security apparatuses commit terrible atrocities abraod that make Americans marginally safer."
I have to agree. I'm in a glass half full mode RE the Fed's intent. Sometimes the road to hell is paved with good intent however.
