The Time Period btwn 1880-1930 shoved a knife through the Heart of The United States and we have been bleeding out every since.
Economic literacy is not a prerequisite to grasping the obvious financial realities flooding the neighbourhoods across the Nation. That the Federal Reserve has played a major role in the disintegration of the dollar, in the indebtedness of all Americans and in the disintegration of ‘savings’ is not a secret, and yet the Nation is numbed. The Nation is accepting of an invisible, all-wise, and all-knowing group placing it in a permanent vat of destructive debt, washing an unwilling economy with hundreds of billions of cash it cannot and will not use.

Agreed with the analysis until this point.
The fracking revolution is literally shifting monetary flows around the world just like the first OPEC oil embargo of 1973 did in the other direction. Americans on the coasts are not feeling it but in middle section of the country the fracking revolution is in boom times in a half dozen states and sending immense amounts of money to local state and federal coffers. The numbers are going to rise significantly.
So while the social fabric of the USA is coming unglued the economic trends counted in years and decades have recently shifted back in favor of the USA—but it will take time before everyone notices—just as was the case after 1973—when economic trends shifted away from the USA.
Simple Terms:
1. Those that were born before The Fall of The Berlin Wall know full well what America stood for, and what The Cold War, and Communism was all about.
2. Those born after The Fall of The Berlin Wall, grew up in a time that allowed the America-haters to come forward, unabashed and unafraid of reprisal from fellow Americans, because of their protected ‘rights’ (that were not), and ‘feelings’ (get in touch with your inner whatever) were/are championed by news outlets that believe that THEY can sway the mood of the land, and Americans have let them!
