The framers had no idea that most Americans would live beyond their means by buying items on credit.
Americans have enslaved their lives to car loans, mortgages, credit cards, and college loans.
The framers couldn’t foresee the corruption of fake money enslaving people to things they should not rightly own.
Until Americans give up their excessive lifestyle and return to just a cash based society...all the corruption fostered upon governments via the central banks will continue to drive the governments to maintain tight control over the citizens...we have absolutely no chance of breaking the system or escaping the grasp they have on us now.
For every person who thinks that the problems are at the federal level and the problems are driven by differing political parties have very short vision...the problem is the few at the international banking level...who make governments jump.
That is why until the collapse, people better start thinking on how to survive without credit, with only cash and a skill set that brings value to their local community...until then the only other outcome after the COLLAPSE will be more government intervention and weaker people who can’t even manage a small garden.
“Until Americans give up their excessive lifestyle and return to just a cash based society...”
In that case, I am all set! See my tagline. I am debt free (including no mortgage), I have a good amount of savings and am working on building future wealth. What does that mean in a collapse? If I am lucky, it means nothing. However, I suspect that I will be targeted for specific punishment....maybe sent to the boxcar in the first round!
The moochers will demonize my ilk and blame me for their ills. The ruling elite will be more than willing to act on their behalf....
