An Iranian Win IS A Win For Americans Overall
By James Quillian, Economist, Political Analyst, Natural Law

The United States actually consists of two economies, even though it is assumed to consist of just one. Economic statistics are calculated by combining both, which hides the reality on the ground. Very smart people speak on the basis that the US Israeli war might—just might—enter a recession. None dare say depression. Smart is a good thing/, only if it is accompanied by awareness.

The top economy generates the numbers used for official statistics, showing that the whole economy is growing. The bottom economy is leaving a recession and entering an outright depression. The split is real, even if it is never acknowledged.

A loss in the war will throw the top economy into a depression as well. That alone will not help folks in the bottom economy. But a U.S. war loss will make China the world’s most largest economic influencer. That is what will benefit ordinary Americans.

There is a go team go mentality that pervades humanity. “Yea, my team wins” is a natural human reaction. But the economy is not a football team, so this is an irrational reaction.

Organized crime controls legislation in all countries, but it focuses out of proportion in the most influential economic entity. This will work to the benefit of Americans in the bottom economy. All will suffer, but those at the top will see their wealth destroyed and their domestic economic power destroyed. The poor will suffer even more than they already are. Despite that, the country will be purged of organized crime—at least in the short term.

The U.S. economy will collapse more severely because it is now a service based economy. It consists mostly of services that have no genuine utility to society. Manufacturing economies produce what is needed. Service economies prosper from the activities manufacturing generates. When manufacturing disappears, the service economy becomes a hollow shell.

Failure in the war hurts first the parties who lobbied for starting the war. The war—whoever comes out ahead—hurts the rich and the poor. A loss will hurt the rich disproportionally.

The United States actually consists of two economies, even though it is assumed to consist of just one. That fact alone explains why official numbers look strong while ordinary Americans sink deeper into hardship. The split is baked in, and the consequences are already unfolding.
