Very good article.
I fear for the future, but timing is everything.
I’ve already been way off on my expectations of doom.
I hear you. As bad off as the American economy seems to be, the rest of the world seems to be in much worse shape, especially the EU.
I see the current econ crisis as a Mexican standoff: no one wants to shoot first, because then all hell breaks loose. So they keep circling around, not willing to shoot and hoping to be the last one standing.
It’s a good article and the questions it poses are also good.
But from my own peculiar point of view I look at this as a necessary step in destabilizing the economy of the United States and the world. Once that is done I think that the ‘elites’ believe that they will have the power as well as the ability to completely reorder the political landscape of the United States and through it the world.
Personally I don’t think it’s going to work out the way they think it will. Time will tell though.
I think a lot of us have expected the bottom to fall out a long time ago... Yet here we are, still going strong. Nevertheless, these are strange days indeed.
