The U.S. inevitable economic collapse
By P Alfonso on Dec 17, 2008 | In 1. The Nation
It is beginning to sound like a horror story, something along the lines of the movie ‘Misery’ where your keeper tries to control you and when she can’t then tries to destroy you. Ours is a story in which the doctor has been prescribing the patient the wrong medication for years. As his patient complains on his deteriorating health, the doctor finally admits that his health has taken a downturn but still not admitting his mistake. By now, the damage is irreversible and the patient has become terminally ill but still totally unaware of his imminent death. The doctor realizes that his patient will soon die but continues to conceal his fate. That is our government folks!
Follow up:
According to recent information that the government has provided us we are in a recession, the problem with that is that the news is one year old. They now got around telling us that we have been in a recession since last year and the economy is a mess. Thanks, we had already noticed. Just as they told us that we were heading for a housing meltdown. The mess that our economy is in was already predicted a year ago and before. Did our government tell us? The information was already out there but unless you did your own research neither our government nor news media bothered to tell us. There is plenty of information published that indicates we will be in another great depression before the summer of 2009 but they are not telling us either. Is that what Joe Biden was talking about when he said that there will be a crisis within the first six month of the Obama administration? Does this mean that our Senators already know what they are not telling us?
Here are some examples of how out of touch our government has been and is:
For years, we have provided billions in aid to African nations to control HIV. Undoubtedly, a noble humanitarian gestures to be applauded. When we go into a depression along with the rest of the world, it will become wasted money. We have spread money around like there was no tomorrow and it has bankrupted us. Many of those that we helped will die of famine and economic genocide. Perhaps more lives would have been saved if we had kept our house in order instead.
Global warming is another issue that is out of touch with reality. Al Gore as its main promoter does not live by example. His physique shows that he will die from the effects of obesity long before global warming cause any deaths and his extravagant living habits are not a good example of energy conservation. Global warming if it is real is a result of world’s overpopulation. Many scientists affirm that the threat of global warming is nothing but a false alarm, including NASA. If we fall into the predicted world depression, there will be a readjustment of the world’s population. Deaths as the result of such could be in the hundreds of millions worldwide and help ease Al Gore’s theory. To be noticed is the fact that our government seems to continue pursuing this theory while they know that we are bankrupt and will not have the funds to finance it.
Consider for a moment how much death will occur in third world countries when the U.S. and other nations stop providing them with food and instead use it to feed their own. What will happen to Egypt and Israel when we cannot longer provide them with billions in financial aid? On top of that, there will still be a predicted war with Iran unless they agree to stop its nuclear program. The drop on the price of oil and the present economic sanctions may keep them from being able to continue financing their nuclear ambitions. To avoid war Iran would have to open all of their facilities to nuclear inspectors in the very near future otherwise, war is imminent. If something good comes out of the world depression, it will be that drugs dealers will go out of business from lack of addict’s funds.
Luckily, for John McCain, he lost the election and saved his life. Stress would have done to him what the Vietnamese could not. Barack Obama the president of Hope, Change and the breaker of the racial divide after all is nothing but the fall guy. He is nobody’s president. We already knew that he was not experienced enough to be President and now with the economy in chaos he looks more than ever like a puppet or the government spokesman. What kind of orders is a president going to give when he has no clue of what is going on? What economic decision is he going to make when economists are totally confused and covering up their actions? To make decisions he will solely rely on advice from those who surround him and they also have no clue of what is going on. Many of his advisers should take responsibility for the mess that we find ourselves in.
George W. Bush seems to have taken the brunt of our economic fallout but let’s be realistic and give all of our politicians a good share of the blame. The Congress, Senate, and previous Administrations were more interested in winning elections than in protecting our nation and its citizens. They have been spending and giving money away as if it grew on trees. Paper and green ink is cheap but printing more of it is not going to get us out of the mess that we are in. Be aware that when we have new currency “In God We Trust” will most likely disappear from it.
God help us! We can expect a revival from many who have been attacking religion. Soon many will be looking at a supreme force for protection, guidance, comfort, jobs, and food. Those that have been worrying that Obama will take our weapons be at ease. He is going to need many armed honest, law abiding citizens to help maintain order during the chaos that will follow the collapse of our economy and the dollar.
As another trillion in relieve for our economy is proposed our national debt soon will approach thirteen trillion. That is an equivalent of $43,300 for every person that lives in our country or $113,000 for every household. A debt of that magnitude could never be repaid. We could wonder if anyone has a clue of what the future will bring us. Take the wisdom and opinion of those who are not elected officials but have seen the world and find the truth.
As a nation, we had become so comfortable with an unprecedented abundance that it numbed our build in instinct for survival. We are a society that sees itself as advanced and sophisticated but in reality, it is just blindly herded. Much emphasis is put on individuality and imaginary civil liberties while becoming prisoners in a controlled society. The majority of those who live in densely populated urban settings are unaware that they have already lost most of their freedom. Many find themselves trapped in cities with nontransferable jobs and inescapable debt. Others are living in a setting in which they heavily rely on the government for shelter, food, mobility, social services and things as common as water and sewer disposal. No one is totally free but there is freer America for those who reside in rural areas, they enjoy and experience much more freedom. Most own multiple guns that some cities outlaw and can hunt or raise food in their own backyards if needed. They live in a country that most urbanites do not even know it exists and are better prepared to face a depression. I said it before, will say it again, own a gun, and if you live in a controlled urban setting, and can afford it get out before it is too late.
