Yes its a eye catcher for sure.  I see lots of this stuff, but this one really caught my eye.  And yes I agree that there is no way out either.  I think the only solution is a reset at some point.  Its like we've delayed going to the doctor for 30 to 50 years, and now we're so sick there isn't anything that can be done but start over.  

And yes on learning from our mistakes, but my guess is that most won't.  Just like today we have plenty of times in history to look at, but every time they always seem to convince people "this time is different".

Hey, @johndoer123

I think you and Dave pretty much arrived at the point here. There really isn't any learning from our mistakes this time. This is pretty much it. We had our chance, and as a nation/civilization, intentionally or not, we've blown it. We've taken the one true shot at freedom the world has known and we've blown it. We taken the best government ever implemented by man and corrupted it, we've taken the best economy ever to be instilled by a people and treated it as a thing of naught, and we've pretty much alienated ourselves from most of the world in the process.

I'd like to think there's a way out of this, but I don't see it. I see WWIII. I'm not sure how we come out of that unscathed. This has been brewing for well over a hundred years, and it will come to a head. The US has already survived longer as it was originally constituted than any other nation on Earth, and since we've been doing our level best to tempt fate, instead of everything in our power to cherish, preserve and protect her, it's only a matter of time before we go the way of every other people.

It's really a tribute to the divine nature of this nation's founding and the resiliency of a free market economy that we've managed to make it this far.

There are multiple levels of scary that can happen. One level is that the US loses status as world base currency as other countries move away from the petro-dollar. This will cause a spike in prices. Another possibility is hyper-inflation. We could even see the dollar finally breathe its last as its purchasing power goes to zero. Who really knows though. There are a lot of things that *could* happen, but they might be able to paper over the problems like they did in 2008. It won't last forever though.

Ohhh I agree completely.  I see people every day and wonder how are they going to react when they have no money.  I see the things that people waste money on and think "wow, I bet you're going to regret that one day".  I don't have any idea when its going to happen, but I am convinced we can't stop the treadmill without crashing.

I haven't seen it, but since you've given it a thumbs up then it will be on my evening viewing tonight!  Thanks and I think anything that educates people to this issue is a good thing.  One day its going to be a brutal time, I just hope people take the time to prepare!

I watched the first video, it was very good!  I will watch the others when I have time too :)

We are pretty damn close to perfectly synced on this one too Glen.  I hope we don't have the bloodshed you described, but its been pretty much the playbook for centuries throughout time.  It also serves as a nice distraction for people when they lose the things they can't have anymore.  Plus it is the perfect way to shift blame for all ills to the "big bad enemy".

I know you were kidding about the debt was added as an amendment to the Constitution, but sadly I bet you half the congressmen don't know that :P ... And yes the unfunded liabilities are terrible, but my guess is they will never be funded because those promises will not be able to be met.  I can't even imagine how bad it will be if they hit us with the truth one day and say "sorry, we've spent it all already".  And who knows, maybe I won't have to... Maybe they can distract people even longer with some more "Dancing with the Stars" type shows ;)

shsss don't tell people that PK... That's not something to be discussed with anyone.  Can you imagine how fast people will have your head cut off if they knew there were some gold in that there skull?  

And hahaha, your right... those choppers work well with gold in them!

yes... Its going to be $1.2 trillion per year ***in good times***... the next recession/depression will send it well over $2 trillion.  At some point that will matter, but for now the people seem to not care.
