Republicans and Democrats spent last summer battling how best to save $2.1 trillion over the next decade. They are spending this summer battling how best to not save $2.1 trillion over the next decade.
In the course of that year, the U.S. government

The 10, standing with pomp and glitter, head for their vaults.
The people, angry and in disarray, loot the shops.
Which of these knew in advance? The eagle? The bear? The crown? The sun?
No, fate was not a consideration for this race.
When you look into theses numbers, and reflect upon our political stitutation there is really no way we can avoid the collapse senerio.
1: Even if democrats could tax 65% of our GDP there is no possible economy we could construct that would not collapse(massively contract) under such burden thus simultaneously producing a smaller output and a larger number of unemployed “welfare” dependency.
2: The Political reality is republicans are probably both incapable of seriously cutting down the massive welfare state even if they were willing. To put the matter bluntly any attempt by republicans to cut down on the welfare state will be met with resistance from both all of those currently being payed off by the same and those the democrats are able to convince.
Simply put there is not a path towards building a majority against robing what is essentially a shrinking minority of producers and the unborn.
Instead those currently invested(by government force) into the welfare system(like Social Secretary, medicaid, and medicare) will have to worry about the day when the taxes required support them & their debt grow so great that they who no longer pay the taxes(retired) will be both in the minority and on the chopping block.
We might from that perspective convince them to take a block sum of money now.
I’d also see about hiding that asset, when the leftist get desperate in an inflationary economy they WILL make like FDR and try to steal everyone’s real assets, allegedly in an effort to force them go back to their devalued currency.
When the trains stop running we will be looting at an even more extremely lawless Government senereo, if you can imagine that possible in regard to the present Federal Government’s already existing lawlessness.
If our systems of resistances are not already in place by then, you can kiss what little freedom and money you have left goodbye. Leftist will take it just like FDR took everyone’s gold.
And one day we’ll envy the more stable economies like in, say, Zimbabwe.
