Except that this is gas-lighting. The reason the system isn't working financially is because of the trillions of dollars being sent to other countries in order to launder it back to themselves. It's as simple as that.
I don't feel it helps explain it. It helps to gas-light the public in order to manufacture consent for the upcoming disbanding of more social services and social security. In my opinion.
But I should add that it contributes to the problem when the corruption includes particular state grifts stealing millions a year for social services that never reach the supposed intendees.

It's an all of the above approach. Sending billions to foreign countries, is but one part sadly.
