I sure hope so. My most fervent hope is that in two decades time I will be considered a foolish crank from early in the century, forgotten by history and laughed at roundly by the few who remember me at all.
A collapse of some sort is coming. I don’t think we can quite pin it down to what year, or decade even, because I suspect that once the democrats take power for good, due to changing demogrphics, they will raise taxes to incredible levels to keep the population under control with “free stuff’.
In time, the “free stuff” will run out....this time fo real, and that’s when the end will come for the republic. My guess: 20 or 30 years....perhaps a little longer.
This country, heck the whole WORLD, is driving headlong into a fiscal, governmental, and social disaster. It is as if those at the top know exactly what they are doing. We can see the cliff coming but we still trust them to swerve even though they are smiling like madmen intent on self-destruction.
I am already calling it the Great Fall. It won’t be Weimar (it might resemble it at one point) or the Great Depression but it’s going to be much much worse. That is my fear and I think it is only a few years away.
