I thank you, QatzelOk, for "liking" this reply to your reply to me.
I assume it is mostly for the last part about how the rich own Congress and also most MainStream economists (and now also the media) so that if the rich benefit from banks getting free money from the money tree to make their loans and from the Gov. spending on the military; the economists, media, and Congress people don't care about those uses of the magic money tree.

This because of the, as you call it, the magic money tree.
Banks also have had access to this magic money tree, and no MainStream economist cares a whit about that. They just care about the Gov. using it to help the people.
Why is that? IMHO, it's because the rich benefit from the banks they own getting free money to lend out, but if the Gov. uses the tree to help the people they think this hurts them (the rich) somehow. The rich also don't care if the Gov. uses the tree to pay for military spending, because the money goes to the corps owned by the rich. Because the rich don't care about that neither do economists or Repuds and corp Dems in Congress.
