Shipping jobs overseas under the guise of "free trade" was part of that process. Once (((they)) redistribute our wealth and income and kill off our middle class, it allows for their takeover to be seamless and the transition back to feudalism to be unavoidable.
True, it forced the middle class into a spiral of debt. That and the push for more and more housing loans, and ever larger homes. I mean, the middle class of 2 generations ago (pre-Boomer) would live in a 3 bedroom home with 4 kids. Parents had a room, 2 kids to a room. Why does every kid need their own room? It makes them anti-social, and creates their own "safe space." Look what that has done to us!
But I digress. Remove jobs, put pressure on families, force debt spending, planned obsolescence, throw away society with cheap plastic crap, and that purchase that would have been a ten year purchase 40 years ago is now a repeatable one every 3-4 years. 2.5 the spend for the same item. It is no wonder we are in the hole we are in.
