US should be more worried about its debt than Thailand
Play
After the lifting of martial law in Thailand, news reports said the US government wants "individuals to freely exercise fundamental rights, including the rights of freedom of expression and peaceful assembly".
According to the US debt clock online, the US national debt is now more than 18 trillion dollars and moving up, while we all know from the news media that the US
middle-class is on its deathbed or beyond.
When is the US going to be
concerned about the fundamental right of individuals not to have an 18-trillion-dollar national debt and a moribund middle-class?
The quid pro quo for Thais is clear: give up national and
individual financial solvency in exchange for freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.
In other words, talk and get together as much as you want to but stay broke and get more broke while doing it – in the American way.
