“Nothings will change till the money runs out. It has happened in history and will happen again.”

Government running the economy is terrible. But collapse won’t happen for a long, long time. There are lots of reasons. The Western world is in demographic and financial decline. On the Demographic side, entire countries like Italy and Greece are depopulating. Export led economies like South Korea and Germany are in terminal decline. The US on the other hand, is growing. The US has raised interest rates. In much of the world the “interest” rates are negative. You put $100k in the bank and a year later you get $96k back. Any money that is free floating is being moved to the US economy. Hence, our stock market going up while the rest of the world declines. The collapse of China means production is reshoring here. All of these things mean that the US will be just fine. We might not like it, but barring nuclear war or another plague, we’ll survive and so will our corruptocrat economy.

We woke up one morning, read the internet and learned the USSR was bankrupt. It happened that fast.

Place your bets. We are LONG OVERDUE for a correction.

Two problems: China isn’t “collapsing” despite all the propaganda to the affirmative. Secondly, The demographic and cultural trends in the US bode very badly. The deterioration is slow (almost imperceptivity slow), but it’s there. Our elites are at war with honest, law-abiding citizens in an effort to boost their own wealth domestically and internationally. They are perfectly willing to replace the legitimate citizens of this country with illegals and lots of other immigrants to do it. In their eyes (You and I are simply resources for their own ends). That will not be ultimately challenged by any “vote of the people”. Unless there is some kind of seismic shift in political awareness (akin to a Revolution), that will not change. If that doesn’t change, then there is definitely an expiration date for the US. It may be well after you and I are gone, but it’s as certain as a mortal man’s death.
