From another thread, a Hemingway quote: “How did you go bankrupt? Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.” From The Sun Also Rises, 1926.

Is that how it’s happening with the USD & US economy?

Because "The Sun Also Rises," it also sets.

There have been plenty of assertions, devoid of references and citations, to say plenty of things. I tend to cite something and "show my work," while many hesitate to do so.

Might I suggest a peek at Shadow Stats, just for another view to things. Or one can always believe what government tells you. Or the media. Or even a Freeper.
