LOL wut?

The dollar isn't going anywhere. It's the reserve currency of the world for a reason. We have the deepest financial markets on planet Earth and a very stable developed economy and government.

They have just been working the system the way the politicians set it up in order to get their vote.

My favorite of the hard right memes.

I know, why wouldn't the poor be behind the anti poverty strategy of cutting their food, healthcare, and housing aid off? Their votes aren't bought, but the right has shown zero interest in actually doing anything about poverty. It's all about demonizing the poor for being lazy leeches. It's all about playing on your emotions, and it works. The left's philosophy on this front is severely flawed, but it's better than "frick em" for the lower class.

Talk about fixing the system instead of getting yourself caught up in the other side of the class wars.

If the dollar collapses we're all pretty fricked anyway. So I'm not going to worry about that.
