   the rule of law is virtually dead in the US and the West, and the un-elected,   
   statist bureaucratic chieftains, with their powerful, protected jobs and their   
   well-paid, ever-growing staffs, have successfully usurped legislative   
   prerogatives from elected    
   officials (specifically, from the Congress in the US and from parliaments in

   effectively ended representative government in many OECD nations, but it has   
   eviscerated working citizens’   
    property right protections, free-market capitalism, productivity, and   
   numerous nations’ balance sheets: at nearly $250trn in operations-based   
   debt, the globe’s $81trn economy is too encumbered for anything but a   
   destructive debt-based deflation.
