When the banking crisis crippled global markets seven years ago, central bankers stepped in as lenders of last resort. Profligate private-sector loans were moved on to the public-sector balance sheet and vast money-printing gave the global economy room to heal.

The FTSE 100 has now erased its gains for the year, but there are signs things could get a whole lot worse.

China was the great saviour of the world economy in 2008. The launching of an unprecedented stimulus package sparked an infrastructure investment boom. The voracious demand for commodities to fuel its construction boom dragged along oil- and resource-rich emerging markets.
The Chinese economy has now hit a brick wall. Economic growth has dipped below 7pc for the first time in a quarter of a century, according to official data. That probably means the real economy is far weaker.

How does a nation begin to repent for 56,000,000 abortions, the Rainbow House (formerly known as the White House), an apostate nation, etc, etc.?
It's kind of hard for people to "repent" when they reject that there is a God in Heaven. No God, no sin. And anybody that tries to talk about God and His son, Jesus Christ is a "hater."
No One Knows the Day or Hour
36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven,[a] but My Father only.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,
Matthew 24:36-38New King James Version (NKJV)
Who are we to be judged? We’re not the chosen people, never were. What we will be judged for is whether we were for the chosen people, or against them.
Unfortunately our pres seems to have lined us up as “ against”
What happens to gold and silver?
Rather, if anyone tries to talk about God and His son is rather a believer!
Good “Rollover” clip

And anybody that tries to talk about God and His son, Jesus Christ(,) is a "hater." (according to the lost)
Punctuation is our friend. Hope my comment makes sense now.

100%... can't stand spacey but he killed it in Margin Call as did Paul Bettany and the rest of the cast, great movie
I just bought Morgan silver dollars and Hornady 6.8mm SPC 110gr BTHP match ammo. Just topping off my preps.

Could be disaster, but not today.
Those "Financial Advisors" really were worth the money, weren't they?
Yup. People worshipped their money, vacations, homes, golf game, boats, jet skis, portfolios, gold and silver, IRAs, 401Ks, cars, restaurants, condos, travel, and all the rest.
They didn't want this "Jesus Saves" thing - and besides, even if He did exist, this reckoning, Rapture, and Tribulation thingy people talk about would really not happen any time soon.
Right?
Cute ‘toons. Can you answer my question?
what’s to stop them now? What’s a little inflation amongst friends?
I think the first punch will be deflation, which will destroy all businesses, commerce, and jobs.
Then, shortly after, hyperinflation will kick in, and it will enslave all but the elite.
Enslave, as in literally enslave us. Our very survival and lives will be enslaved to whatever "re-set" economic system the world comes up with.
