That portion of the economy that depends on extra-Constitutional government and government spending.
At a minimum that is the 30% of GDP made up of extra-Constitutional government spending and the minimum of 18% of Consumer spending FRAUD it funds. A minimum of 48% of our GDP, or $14.15 Trillion of our $31.16 Trillion GDP.
Collapse is much closer than we realize, and while there are no impulse functions in nature, mathematically it is going to be an extremely discontinuous event. Second order differential equations (“the trend is your friend”) will be of limited, if any value, in predicting the collapse. We’ve received all the warnings we can reasonably expect. All of the necessary pre-conditions are in place.
YMMV.
I know exactly what you are saying. I have 3 semesters of college calculus and two semesters of differential equations. And we are being governed by lawyers who don’t know maft.
