Fed Warns Unemployment May Double Great Depression
Big Government ^ | 11-25-11 | Chriss W. Street

Posted on 11/27/2011 5:29:36 AM PST by radioone

I warned last week that a recession and higher unemployment were about to hit the U.S. economy. On Tuesday, the Bureau of Economic Analysis cut their estimate of growth in the third quarter ending September from 2.5% to 2%. Then on Wednesday, the Federal Reserve rocked financial markets by forcing America’s 31 largest U.S. banks to “stress test” balance sheets to determine their capability to withstand an 8% drop in the economy; which would cause home prices to plunge by 21%, and unemployment rate to jump to 13%.

The solution of course, is to ask Katie Courva what she’d do.

Really. Stop screwing around.

Furlough Congress without pay. Eliminate benefits for this coddled class of human debris.

Who is the candidate that says he’ll slash 1 trillion in the first year? Who has dared say he’ll eliminate at least five government agencies during that first year?

Sounds like what America needs.

How many can remember when imported goods were few? Who remembers when there were no foreign countries that didn’t have many American automobiles on their streets?

Why do we need 143 different outposts spread throughout the world for our troops when there is war that goes unchecked on our southern border?

Why do we continue to put up with the evil that is Cuba located just 90 miles off our coast? Is it because the brothers Kennedy made a deal to save their cowardly faces with Kruschev that we have to forever live with?

Why is the Monroe Doctrine not used in relation to Venezuela, for example, that practices communism and gets along only with nations that hate America?

What is the Monroe Doctrine?

We all had a hand in this.

We destroyed our own industry.

With the lies becoming unsustainable, by the media, and the true depths of the media lies bubbling to the surface. One should wonder, how will the media explain itself, once their lies can no longer be covered? Best guess .... media implodes fully or perhaps a few EMPs to make one final last ditch effort to cover. Would not put it past the media to have made a contract with weapons manufacturers to secure the EMPs. This is America, it cannot happen here. The media will be telling all which is worthy to hear. The media always does look out for the people and would never hold EMPs over our heads. This is America, it cannot happen here. Should a sarcasm tag be added?

Since 70% of the economy is consumer spending, but 47% of all Americans are receiving some sort of Government check that is paid for with 40% debt (just this year), and a $15 Trillion dollar debt with $100 Trillion of unfunded liabilities - I'd say buying American won't help at this point.

Well one thing IS certain.

Buying Chinese won’t help.

But stocking up on food, water and the means to protect your family, like many have been doing WILL HELP.

The crap will hit the fan. It’s coming. Be prepared.

We could turn this around immediately.

100% across the board import tariffs.

Plenty of jobs would return to American overnight. Wake up people.

We’re doing it wrong.

Hammm, less than 2.5% growth. I seem to remember one guy who talked about generating growth by revising the tax system ... who was that fellow? Didn’t he talk about a 999 plan or something?

Hmmm, I guess we took him to the woodshed, though, a while back ... made too much sense for this country of utter morons, I guess.

We don’t have growth.

We go further into debt by the minute.
