Humanity thrives on opinion
And what lies low, at the very bottom?
It's the foundation. Foundation is never nearly enough. But without free expression of opinions we'll have nothing at all. In the intellectual space, that is.

You aren't. First Great Depression Roosevelt tried to spend more state's money... but it wasn't nearly enough. Obama spend incomparably more in our Second Great Depression of 2007-... - and you may compare the results.
There are deflation and inflation models to the Great Depression. You pick.
No GD model would lead you to prosperity, mind. You just have to live through till it's end. Look at the First one to make your own estimations...

With Thousands Of Migrants Crossing The Border Daily, We Asked 'Why Now?'
ISISSCO in Ukraine, Syria; European and worldwide terror breads panic.
Trumps in USA do bread panic too.
It adds on to the long term trend of falling demography and population density of Europeans (Caucasians) and growing population density in the third world.
It comes to the new Great Migration period...

"Without freedom of thought there can be no such thing as wisdom and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech."

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
This was first used[1] by Franklin for the Pennsylvania Assembly in its "Reply to the Governor" (11 Nov. 1755)

It comes to that every time. One of that cyclic things in our History.
The Russian voted for safety some 20 years ago. They have KGB in power now. Once more.
That leaves Tbilisi, Kiev and Damask no place for peace speeches. The war came.
Paris and London have 'just' some murders, shootings, explosions, radioactive and other air-spread poisons.
USA got to bushes (Big Brother, official tortures) and trumps already... but US's powerful enough to live over that, I suppose.
The point is, it only get worse with time. At some point, you pay the great price - and reverse the tendency. The price grows exponentially with time wasted, too...
