@rupertmurdoch The same way prize fighters wind up in debt. They can't say no to spending and trying to impress friends.

@rupertmurdoch Short-termist politicians buying votes and central bankers inflating the wealth away. Fed created 1913, start of decline.

@rupertmurdoch Maybe people who own the big companies took all the money , without putting anything much back. It's usually that way …eh !
