“This is one of the most concise and, I think, accurate analysis that I’ve seen in quite some time...”
I agree! I have been sounding the inflation and currency devaluation alarm at home and am unable to convince even my spouse, who will regularly state, “You’ve been saying that for two years now, and it hasn’t happened.”
It would take a Ronald Reagan on steroids, and a decade with a fiscally conservative House & Senate to get us anywhere close to where we need to be economically.
Try as I might, I am not optimistic.
My daughter is down for a visit and I again tried to talk to her about having at least a small cache of essentials in their house so she can get by for a month or two. She says, "Dad, you always say that the economy is going to tank."
I've started to realize that there are going to be very few who are actually prepared; most are in denial and will remain that way until the (just heard Glenn Beck say, "another six months") coming desolation falls on them like a ton of bricks.
So she mistakes my warnings as me "wanting the collapse to hurry and get here". I explain that no I don't, and that we're going to want our standard of living back.
So how do you reach people who don't want to believe their world is about to be turned upside down and their standard of living is about to go down the toilet?
People are tired of hearing about it. I can tell that by yours being the only comment this post has recieved... :)
Anyone who isn’t seeing inflation isn’t buying their own groceries.
