They are not true capitalists. They are simply fed government subsidies that ultimately came from the taxpayers.

It’s called crony-capitalism. YOU seem like a communist. Sure you can tax the heck out of regular ordinary citizens working real private industry jobs and then create fake wars that need fake “private” contractor companies, such as CACI, Boeing, Northrup Grumman and SAIC. They are not really capitalists. They are actually simply government subsidized industries just like in China.

That is also why we had a housing bubble. You just create a thing called Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and government insure loans and then all of a sudden you have created a fake market that leech private industries jump on and start giving out loans to people who do not deserve them which fakely inflates the costs of homes and causes a bubble which inevitably has to crash.

That is also why education is so expensive. You just create a thing called FAFSA and give out generous loans and grants to Americans (who usually never pay them back anyway) and then all of a sudden you have influxed the system with all of this fake liquid capital and then the schools start inflating the costs of tuition because they know there is the money out there to snag.

We have gotten so far away from true capitalism that people do not even know what it looks like anymore. If we had true capitalism and did not bail out companies that were “too big to fail” and subsidize everything with government handouts, then maybe we would actually have a thriving and successful economy again.

Here’s a large infographic from their Top Secret America reporting that shows security clearances are indeed often worth a $10,000+ premium. You should ask for a raise!

You must have never worked in government. They have 10 people doing the exact same thing in every position. It is completely ridiculous and wasteful. CIA employees do not deserve anywhere near 121K a year in salary. Maybe more like 12K a year in salary (even in the DC area) is more in line with their line of work and competence and intelligence levels.
