10 Signs That The American People Are Starting To Freak Out About The Condition Of The Economy
Hawaii News Daily ^ | July 15, 2011 | Michael Snyder

Posted on 07/16/2011 3:58:48 PM PDT by Kartographer

All over America, restlessness and frustration are growing. It has now been almost three years since the great financial crash of 2008, and yet the U.S. economy is still a complete and total mess. In fact, there are all sorts of signs that things are about to get even worse, and the American people are just about fed up. Virtually every major poll, survey and measure of consumer confidence shows that the American people are becoming more pessimistic about the economy. Millions of hard working Americans that worked their fingers to the bone for their employers and that did everything “right” are sitting at home on their couches tonight staring blankly at the television. Many of them still have a hard time believing that they were laid off and that there is nobody out there that wants to give them a good job. There are millions of other Americans that won’t get much sleep tonight because they will spend much of the night rolling around in bed wondering how they are possibly going to be able to pay the mortgage. We have never faced such an extended economic downturn in modern U.S. history, and a lot of people are starting to freak out about the condition of the economy.

I think that we are at the very least in for a collapse much like that of Argentina’s ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yerKMQc7-w&feature=grec_index), but as a armed society with a very large entitlement minded population our collapse will be much more violent and I see many many small business wiped out by flash mob looting, and large scale violence (look at what happened just this past Memorial Day and 4th of July weekends)we are seeing these mobs grow bolder and bolder like:

Chicago’s CBS 2’s Jim Williams reports, the problem of mob attacks downtown is much bigger than the weekend beatings, according to beat cops who wanted to remain anonymous.”

And it’s not just Chicago, but Washington DC, Las Vegas, St Paul, Philadelphia and on most major big ‘Blue’ cities are increasingly reporting such flash mobs and gang muggings. Look what happened just this past weekend in Peoria, Il:

I see what I call ‘Pocket Pogroms’ taking place in many big ‘Blue’ cities and if you aren’t a ‘0bamamite yute’ or one of ‘Holder’s People’ it’s going to get Reginald Denny bad for you very quickly.

For those who are just starting or are old hands at prepping you may find my Preparedness Manual helpfull. You can download it at:

http://www.tomeaker.com/kart/preparedness1i.pdf

For those of you who haven’t started already it’s time to prepare almost past time maybe. You needed to be stocking up on food guns, ammo, basic household supplies like soap, papergoods, cleaning supplies, good sturdy clothes including extra socks, underwear and extra shoes and boots, a extra couple changes of oil and filters for your car, tools, things you buy everyday start buying two and put one up.

As the LDS say “When the emergency is upon us the time for preparedness has past.”

Or as the bible says: A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
NIV Proverbs 22:3

“There is no greater disaster than to underestimate danger.

Underestimation can be fatal.”

My husband used to supplement our income finding and selling collectibles.

Now the market is flooded. Pieces that would have been snatched up for major bucks are ignored. Items so rare that they were never seen on the open market are now selling for fractions of what they are listed for.

People are not selling duplicate pieces or stuff from the attic any longer, they are selling their prized items to keep afloat. What will happen when they run out of things to sell?

I guess the stupid 45 percent that still approve of Obozo

Do blacks and Commies make up that much of the population?

That's what I heard. Ain't true, but I've heard it.

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.

Do it!

Someday this country will begin taking illegal immigration & the drive for cheap labor more seriously. The foreign labor force is destroying traditional salary/benefits structures in jobs that used to cover the cost of living.

I hope Zero doesn't think this economy will turn around before the 2012 elections, because it aint going to happen. We've just experienced a huge run up in gas prices. Over the last month it looked like we were getting some relief. The price was actually dropping.

Now, has anyone else noticed a sudden spike in gas prices this past week? Maybe it's just a CT tax increase, but in the past week gas has gone up about $0.10 /gal. The reason I'm not sure if it's a local or national increase is because the silence has been deafening from the media, Fox included. Now, if it's only CT than maybe things aren't too bad (except here in CT of course). If it's another nation wide run up, then just as night follows day, we're in for another dip in the economy in about a year....just in time for the elections. Should make for an interesting election.

Let’s be fair. This isn’t Obamas fault, it’s the fault of the federal government and the morons that elected them. BOTH parties are to blame, not just one.

The GOP is every bit as corrupt and clueless as the dems.

It’s nation-wide; here in Florida, gasoline prices have gone up about 20 cents per gallon in the last week and a half.
