Passing the Buck In the modern setup of democratic states the citizens can have no cause for grievances, because the whole administration is conducted by the people themselves. If the people themselves are dishonest, the administrative machinery must be corrupt. More
Plundered In Kali-yuga, as stated in Srimad-Bhagavatam, the ruling class will be no better than plunderers because the third-class and fourth-class men will monopolize the affairs of the government.

Prepare for Crash Landing When a fiat currency, such as what the Federal Reserve Notes are, collapses, it is often FAST and Furious — and devastating. When the German Mark collapsed, in just a matter of days the currency lost value by 1000 times. In DAYS. Say the value of the US dollar drops by 1000.
