We're on a downward spiral and politicians are to blame. We're in late stage capitalism where we do circular deals, cut infrastructure, improvements, and education to bail out companies to keep circular deals going.

I think blaming it on the politicians is too easy. The individualist "me first" mentality has just naturally done its job here. When greed is rewarded, greed becomes the norm.
