17. What a horrible rationalization.
If only more people were sick, the economy would bloom. That's like saying "if only there were more wars, there would be more jobs!"

The fact is that the MIC that book speaks of is a disgrace to this country. The AMA, FDA, FCC, Big Pharma and the Insurance giants work hand-in-hand to run an Amway scam on the American people and their federal institutions. Like The Mob, Pharms bribe the lackies (doctors, media, government agencies) in order for them to pimp their wares. Drug Pushers hailed as Saviors. More Americans are unhealthy because they take multitudes of synthetic drugs whose side-effects are more damaging to their health than if they used alternative methods to address the problem. People have been brainwashed into believing it is normal for everyone to be on some kind of "medication" from cradle to grave.

Counting on an unhealthy society or having "enemies" who want to kill us all in order for our "Economy" to survive is macabre no matter how Optimistically Reagan said it or how Knowledgeably a doctor in a lab coat says it or how Empathetically a Presidential candidate says it.

The Culture of Greed needs to be stopped. That's what has ruined our economy and is literally making people sick and killing them.
