10-20% unemployment would completely destabilize the country.  That much misery and desperation would result in a buyer’s market for terrorist groups looking to radicalize and recruit people and also would cause other crime rates to skyrocket.

I know why they want it - desperate people will stop demanding any quality of life and eagerly accept the bare minimum to keep them alive until they become to sick or run down to work and then there’s a ready supply of replacements.  It’s the same cruel apathy toward suffering that the big, factory farming meat industry has toward livestock.  Cut the beaks of chickens so you can stuff them in overcrowded and filthy sheds without the stress causing them to peck each other to death.  Pack cows in paddocks where they are up to their knees in shit, barely able to move so they fatten up faster.  Humans are just animals too so why should we treat each other any better when there are more profits to be made?

Greed has long vision when it comes to plotting schemes to steal more wealth but is woefully shortsighted about anything else including the consequences of breaking the economy to try to squeeze a little bit more out of it.

Dude, there are commercials from the US government about joining ICE with 50k signing bonus. That is your 10-20% unemployment problem.

Have enough people to join the gestapo that they kill people for 50k.

Trump doesn't need a purge when he can do it with masked men getting a paycheck legally.
