$21 Trillion Dollars is Missing, Why are Americans Missing this Story?

This meme is an encapsulation of why America is broke.
And braking down why the ideas behind the meme are wrong, may show a way to actual solutions.

Do you have any idea what America could do with an extra 21 trillion?

This is an interesting question. It implies that the 21 trillion was more wastefully spent than it would have been if financial shenanigans hadn't happened. Unfortunately, we are going to find this 21 trillion as having been some of the best spent money. I totally hate corruption. I hate being lied to by the govern-cement. However, where this money went will have significant returns and may save our asses.

But, since we do not know about the "secret space program" yet, lets listen to what this person would have spent the money on:

Universal healthcare would be a nice start.

Unfortunately, there is no universal healthcare. (There isn't even healthcare, but that is a different story)
Before Obomba we had about 9 units of healthcare for ever 10 units needed.
After Obomba we have about 8 units per 10 needed.

The added paperwork, and the doctors who quit because of the new laws, have left America with less healthcare than it had before we got govern-cement involved. There are only 8 doctors, no amount of money will increase this to 10. You cannot buy more than what the market has to sell.

We could house every homeless person.

We could easily house every homeless person just by giving them one of our empty houses. However, the banks don't like that, and the real estate market doesn't like that. So, millions of homes are kept off the market, so that these industries don't implode.

Of course, I have often proposed that we build a tiny apartment for every man, woman and child in America. So that no one would ever be homeless. That, if needed, the person shows up to nearby tiny apt-unit and is given a key. A tiny place where they can remain warm and dry. And this would cost us less than we currently waste on section-8 housing.

And despite there being many solutions, the real problem is the core homeless people are homeless because they actually need assisted living. They can't even reliably come back to the same house each night.

Many times such people have been given houses, and the people, the next week are back out walking the street and sleeping in the same places they were. Houses don't help these people.

Create millions of jobs while rebuilding our infrastructure.

This would work, if there was a ton of construction workers sitting idly by with nothing to do.
Unfortunately, many areas of the country are in short supply of people that are willing to get their hands dirty in the construction trades.

Further, the infrastructure was already paid to be rebuilt. Just go back over all those bills you voted for over the past years. How many bond measures have you seen? The money was borrowed... the infrastructure was ignored for other things. So, if we really wanted this, then lets go find where the money for the roads went. (Just like the missing defense money, there is also missing roads money)

Make college free.

This one is just plain awful.
The colleges are so damn expensive because, and only because of, govern-cement money,
and govern-cement regulations, and the govern-cement restrictions on what can be a college.

We have ThemTube with college courses in every nook and cranny. If you want a college education, start watching. You do not have to be in college to read a text book. Never has information been more freely available. A college education should cost hundreds of dollars, not tens of thousands of dollars.

Colleges are there to waste four extra years of all kids' lives. It is there to indoctrinate them to be good sheep. The college loans are actually designed to keep all the sheep docile. You can't buck the system when you have to keep your nose to the grindstone to keep those payments flowing.

But no, we blew it on our endless war machine that specializes in killing people who happen to live on top of the oil we want.

And this is where we see that this person has bought the propaganda fed to them in colleges.
America doesn't need foreign oil. The US has limited local exploration and drilling. We have tons of reserves... in reserves. Further, we are net exporters of oil.

The reason for war is to "blow up" all the extra production the sheep create. We don't want them getting rich now, do we?

We want the sheep to stay scared. And the best way to do that is by war. When at war, all those sheep stay in line.
War is a Racket - Smedly Butler.

All the excuses for going to war are just that, excuses. They were all false flags. All the nations are just being used as pawns to keep the world in turmoil.

The resources, the money, the gold... doesn't matter. It is still owned by the same people, it has just been moved around. We are at war so that we will stay good sheep.

More money will not help out any of these situations.
If money helped out, than Harlem would be a shining beacon for the world to see. But it is not. Despite the great amount of money thrown into that slum, it is worse today that it ever was.

Of course, to us middle class people, money is the problem. We are just rich enough to know the power of money, but not money savvy enough to know that money doesn't fix problems. We feel that a bit more money would solve all of our problems, but this is a misperception. We just need to look at the winners of lotteries, or what happens when someone gets a raise or a bonus. No fixes, just more problems.

So, we see such memes above as normal. We think about how much better the money could have been spent. We never think about how much good could have been done if that money was never taxed in the first place. And we do not know enough accounting to keep the govern-cement in check. Anyone who has read any govern-cement budget knew this was going on for decades.

Financial literacy is the most important thing that should be taught.
It is not taught in govern-cement schools for a reason.
