This document discusses the rise in prescription drug use in the United States from 1998 to 2008 and potential factors contributing to overspending by Americans. Specifically: 1. Prescription narcotic use grew 300% from 1998 to 2008, enough for every American to feel euphoric for most of the year. 2. Anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medications, and other psychotropic prescriptions have also greatly increased, which may reduce impulse control and encourage spending. 3. Cultural and economic factors like credit availability, housing prices, and consumerism promoted by media may reinforce overspending behaviors.

uncontrolled growth in narcotics prescribing and consumption relative to the total amount of pain in the
American populace.
We may ask how the infamous " THEY" could allow this to happen. Finance
Take it a step further, what if I told you that since 1998, the amount of prescription narcotics consumed in Hotels
the U.S.A. was less than 33% on average that it is today? This forces the question. What has changed in our

When you are nested within the change and it takes place over time, it may be more difficult to perceive, but
Cars
we and 1998 America do not have much in common any more. The personalities have changed. We have
undergone 2 decades of inflated income first with a dot.com stock boom and later with bloated real estate Movies
and uncontrolled revolving credit issuance. Maps

Now add in other narcotics which are utiliz ed to an even greater extent and you certainly have enough for
the opiate naive to guarantee a full year of euphoria without even engaging the Benz odiaz apenes,
Amphetamines, Methylphenidate, Methamphetamine, barbituates, and other psycotropic substances
registered with the US FDA and distributed in America pursuant to physicians orders.
To clarify to the reader, the Narcotic use data is sufficient to make much of our argument, however in
combination with the data for other psychotropics such as Xanax(TM), alpraz olam in generic form, and
Adderall (TM) (mixed amphetamine salts) and Ritalin (TM) (methylphenidate), Desoxyn (methamphetamine),

3. Adderall (TM) (mixed amphetamine salts) and Ritalin (TM) (methylphenidate), Desoxyn (methamphetamine),
and others, we build an even stronger case for reduced judgment capacity during the spending and fiscal
planning process in the individual household.
Have you ever wondered why we spend so much money as Americans?
It is interesting to ask people whether in Thailand or Braz il who is the easiest sell and who is the big
spender. They will rarely reply Italy or U.K. or Australia or New Z ealand. They will reply Americans. The
Americans of this past decade are accustomed to being irresponsible with their money and not negotiating.
We are also accustomed to gaining face through overspending instead of saving face by negotiating such
as many other cultures do. We have become culturally predisposed to overspending and thusly erasing our
core savings rate.
It only takes a street salesman of T-Shirts to notice: " If I call foreigner from UK cheap. He not care. He want
good price. I say CHEAP CHEAP to American. He not happy. He pay more money for SAME" .
Hearing this from and independent 3rd party in broken english yields a bigger picture. We are trained not to
negotiate under threat of being CHEAP and CHEAP is BAD. Frugality is demoniz ed in modern American
culture. This was not always the case. There was once pride in the same.
Where has this pride gone?
Who has gained the most from a culture that thinks that it is cool to waste money?
Our image in the world versus say the U.K. or Australia is a culture that spends without restraint, doesn't
negotiate, and are a relatively easy sell. MTV and Copying our favorite Television stars and Musicians has
made a culture all about every we " MUST HAVE" . We have become overly pacified and overly reliant on
government and our envisioned " SYSTEM" .
What is the 10 year and 20 year picture of American habits, core savings, and medication changes.
1. Core Savings Has Disappeared. The premise of living within your means and clearing your mortgage has
vanished and been replaced with buying that dress and car you always wanted to impress someone. What
has happened to the concept of retiring on a free and clear title to one's home?
PDFmyURL.com

4. 2. We were much more likely to buy what we did not need 2002- 2006 versus 1991- 1998. Why is that?
3. Anti- Depressants, Anti- Anxiety Medication, Narcotics, Amphetamines, and other psychotropic prescriptions
have all exploded in quantity and dosage and breadth of population within this past decade.
4. Television, Advertising, Mass Media and observations of friends, family, and neighbors has led to a form
of behavioral therapy wherein even those unmedicated have felt pressure from the culture to copy and
align with the overspending patterns.
Are these events related or not ?
I do not think so. The Sheep Chronicles does not think so. I believe that if we bring enough data clearly out
into the open that common sense will prevail and Americans will be able to perceive what may well have
been happening.
Ask 10 people who you know take an SSRI anti- depressant or SNRI anti- depressant or who regularly use
an anti- anxiety medication such as Xanax (Alpraz olam) or Klonopin (Clonaz apam). Ask them for
impressions.
D O YO U SPEN D MO R E MO N EY O N T HIS MED IC AT IO N ?
When your anxiety levels are reduced and you are not sad, you feel more open to spending money in many
cases. This is the same as a person who drinks alcohol in a bar, gets drunk, and then the next day says;
WOW! How could I have spent so much money in that bar? It's easy when you anxiety centers are relaxed
and you feel good.
Irrespective of the neurotransmitters in question, Serotonin, GABA, Dopamine, or others; chemically there is
no doubt that medications, alcohol, tobacco, and other substances modify our chemically perceived reality
and mood and thereby effect our behaviors. Now continue this equation with the massive use of
prescription pain management (narcotics) in the United States and we have a continuation of the same
effects. A person who is feeling a " chemical high" is a potent consumer. They do not control their excess or
surplus of income by directing it into a boring savings account. They have reduced impulse control and they
spend.

WHAT D O ES T HIS SAY AB O UT US?
We are Sheeple but there is nothing new about that aspect of humanity.
We are passive. We use the word " THEY" much more than 20 years prior. We fancy ourselves more civiliz ed
but we may well be less so.
We accept many ANTI- CONSUMER behaviors with a sense that we cannot do anything about it.
We see a blatant election scandal in 2000 and no million man march. Just as with anything that angers us,
it is brief and fleeting and then we return to a pacified existence. What triggers our anger anymore for more
than 1 week?
We are VERY INSECURE as a people amongst ourselves more so than 20 years prior. We are more focused
on the brand names of clothing and type of car. It used to be that the wealthy family had a Mercedez - Benz
and others did not expect to own one. Now every family feels a heightened sense of competition and
entitlement. There is a lack of contentment with traditional family roles and service jobs.
The pedestal for success has been placed so high by this spending culture that there is a lesser extent of
happiness. I see greater levels of happiness in poor 3rd world villages enjoying life's simple pleasures than
an upper class neighborhood over the holidays during a good year here. Happiness is chemical.
Embracing life's simple pleasures has increasingly been eroded and replaced with pro- consumerism and
competition. Have more than your neighbors. Spend more than your neighbors. This competition does not

6. net happiness. The only one's who gain from this are corporations selling you those goods.
The very development of the Personal Car Lease helped to promote the concept of living beyond your
economic means. You could afford the $35,000 car instead of a $20,000 car. When leases disappeared,
many people were shocked to realiz e how little car they could really afford to buy. Some went through
adjustments in terms of self- image as they were so locked into a perception of their social class via their
car.
HUMBLE has left our personalities as though an ancient remnant of the past, and it leaves behind profound
arrogance all about us. This arrogance is really rooted in INSECURITIES. I want to drive a better car. I want
to have a bigger house. I want the best designer clothes. I am willing to give up my core savings for it.
Being me is not good enough. I must earn more. I must climb higher. I am in competition with everyone and
not with myself. I cannot just embrace life's simple pleasures. As an expat, I am shocked at the personality
changes I can perceive 6 months in the U.S. and 6 months out. Where did the inner strength go? Why are
people not able to perceive their insecurities and just put their foot down as say, I don't care what I drive as
long as my family eats? Some people can but most cannot.
It's a horrible thing to say, but could this financial crisis help us long term to become better people?
WE HAVE A PER FEC T ST O R M O F EVEN T S
Our pharmaceutical manufacturers prerogative is to regurgitate old studies and bloat R&D numbers while
raping and pillaging America under 10,000% + markups in some cases. We have growing apathy in the
medical community due to a society that lives for liability and fear of being sued. Insurance companies have
really begun to own the practitioner's souls. American seem to have a lower threshold for pain than 10 years
ago and greater willingness to seek out medication solutions to their lives. Socially we are playing follow
the leader in a no limits game of overspending to satisfy some sense of ego fulfillment. All the while,
Washington and Big Corporate leadership effectively operate without sufficient challenge from the
inebriated and self- absorbed population.
Then comes the economic wake up call. The disclosure then comes fully open that it was all a false reality.
PDFmyURL.com

7. Fear sets in. People look to what brings them more comfort and we have Q4 2008. Hydrocodone, a narcotic,
met its manufacturing quote for America by the end of Q3 2008. Americans reached for chemical solutions to
avoid perceiving the reality.
I would not buy a piz z a parlor for 500 years of earnings, so why did I buy that stock? Logic prevails. What
goes up will usually come down.
We are being played as a people. Played into Feeling INSECURE and thusly OVERSPENDING.
We are handed the TEMPORARY FINANCIAL MEANS to OVERSPEND.
Medications are Marketed and Prescribed en masse that help to REDUCE OUR ANXIETY LEVELS and
PRODUCE EUPHORIA en masse to where we become almost hedonistic in all our pursuits. Apathy and
concern for liability above all else flourish in the medical community by way of insurance carrier policies.
Patient relationships with their practitioner's collapse. People seek Antidepressants and Sleep medications
and pain killers seeking a way out of their realities just as a bottle of vodka at the bar.
This manner of " head in the sand" is exactly how we lost the confidence of the world this decade. Our
people failed in their responsibility to keep their government in check. We as a people failed to stop
corporate looting. We as a people failed to stand up for ourselves and take back the fundamentals and
rejecting blatant consumerism for the sake of consumerism In a way, the inmates of government and
corporate were left to run the asylum while a pacified people stubbled around not realiz ing their altered
mental state whether through their sheepdom (CBT) or via chemicals.
WHO MAK ES O UT ?
Those on the other side of the coin. Corporate giants who market to you all these things that you do not
need but you have convinced yourself that you do, they have made their money. You have leveraged your
house and ability to retire upon a nicer car, longer vacation, eating out too much, and a giant television.
You were happy all the while or so you thought.
Financial Giants have convinced you to forfeit your core savings and future right to retire against your

8. SHORT TERM HEDONISM. You have in a sense: MORTGAGED YOUR OWN FUTURE and your childrens'
futures. As for governments, you are less likely to openly question their actions in a problematic manner for
them. You might send an email, but you do not MARCH anymore. PROTESTS are lesser. You are PACIFIED.
This is not just NARCOTIC PACIFICATION it is a full spectrum of chemicals and events working collectively.

All these collectively play a role in bringing about a CIVILIZ ATION OF A ONCE GREAT AMERICAN PEOPLE
who essentially cannot make their own independent decisions. They have let themselves be played into
50+ YEARS of debt and working full time until the day they die. They have collapsed the dreams of so many
into a massive debt onto their children and their children's children. They have poisoned a once great
culture in a sense.
T he # 1 C o mmo nalit y is G R EED .
Our GREED was exploited. We were played because our ego was susceptible to programming to where
Greed represented the mechanism for fulfillment of that which would satisfy our ego. We also are one of the
most insecure cultures on the planet which is completely and utterly in denial about such insecurity. Most
Americans can easily be played by stroking their egos. That was how you sold a car for a long time. You sell
the bigger TV set that way. Are you sure you can afford that? Yes I Can. " No, we can find you something
more affordable" . (The Take Away) " No really I want it. I can handle it" (Customer)
THOUGHTS SUCH AS THESE:
" The neighbor has one. Why shouldn't I."
" Everyone else bought a house. Why shouldn't I have one too."
" Everyone has massive credit card debt. So its no big deal if I have it too"
PDFmyURL.com

9. " They all went on vacation. Why shouldn't I."
Meanwhile, someone who lived through the Great Depression or childhood hardship in another country or
culture held onto their dimes and nickels. Some people did extremely well throughout this process. Some
did not change their core values and shopped at second hand stores and kept a car for 10 years while
their house went up 300% . Some thwarted those social games of who will pay. Some sold their house when
it gained in value and bought a lesser house to lock in the profit. Some had retained fear of hitting bottom
from other experiences and were not able to be programmed. Unfortunately, most Americans were played.
We need to stand up for ourselves. We cannot let false pride stop us from economic success. We have to
become a humble and realistic people and take back our souls as presently they have liens on them.
PEOPLE NEED TO STOP BEING SHEEPLE and LEARN TO BE INDEPENDENT THINKERS AGAIN.
Think up something new every day. Sourced in nothing known to you.
Act on it the something new.
Do something that makes you feel embarassed or lesser. Embrace this flexibility.
Eat your dose of humble pie every day and change the culture on person at a time.
WE HAVE BEEN PLAYED AND THE GAME IS FINISHED FOR NOW.
Its time to try to take the playing field back for ourselves for next time.
DON'T EVER CONFUSE CHEAP AND FRUGAL.
THINK ON YOUR OWN.
NEVER USE THE INFAMOUS " THEY" .

11. America's Prescription Psychotropics Use, particularly Narcotics, has grown
over 300% from 1998 to 2008. The Prescription Narcotics Quota according to
DEA has grown over 300% on average during this same time. Narcotics,
Anxiolytics, Amphetamines, Antidepressants, and other Medications act to
reduce our threshold not to spend. They reduce our fiscal sensibilities and
modify our reward centers in many cases. The current financial crisis has its
roots in behavioral issues which are worsened by such unrestrained growth in
prescribing & consumption. 2008 Oxycodone consumption in America would provide #50 5mg tablets to all
301,000,000 millions if distributed equally.
