Yes, it is true. Just look at the data and facts. People don’t want to hear this. And when people have to take responsibility to change their lives, they always want the easy way out and a silver bullet. So when you tell people that we are going into an economic down turn worse than the great depression, the childish responses are, "Well I hope your wrong."
Let’s look at the data. When we went into the the depression the United States didn’t have an national debt of 9 trillion we had a surplus. When we went into the depression there was no such thing as credit cards and most people didn’t own homes and there wasn’t anything called a home equity loan .
When we went into the depression, the United States was not fighting 2 wars and possibly a third coming on. So when you go over the data you can see by every measurement that the economic down turn we are going in now is worse than anything we’ve ever seen before.
What is going on now is way worse than what was going on in 1973. We’re talking about a barrel of oil going at 4 and I believe it will reach 0 thus making it -12 a gallon at the pump.
You no longer hear the people on these money shows talking about "Well accounting for inflation, oil is still a lot cheaper than what is was at the worst point of the energy crisis back in the 70’s and 80’s. They don’t say that anymore because it’s not true. We are in an energy crisis now. Major media networks should be making headlines every day about what’s going to happen, come winter. But they won’t.
How are people going to afford to heat their homes over 4 dollars a gallon for home heating oil? How are they going to pay utility bills? We are going into an economic down turn, a crash that no one has ever seen before.
There is nothing in the future that’s going to save this country. And the federal reserve which by the way most people don’t know is really just a private company, it has nothing to do with the federal government . And it’s illegal also according to article 1, section 8 clause 5 of the constitution, which gives congress the sole power to print and regulate money. They’re the ones and the bankers behind them, brokers and wall street bandits that have flooded the country with cheap money, driven down the value of the dollar and are robbing the people of their future.
But people don’t understand this, they don’t know what it means to have a cheap dollar, they blame the Arabs, they blame everybody for the high oil prices except themselves and the Government.
I believe the average American is fully aware that they are living non sustainable lives. I blame pop culture today in this country. It’s all about becoming their own self serving bloated beaucracies.
The average American is sick. We have over 1 hundred million that are over weight , we have 63 million with heart disease, we have stress related diseases and cancers, and arthritis and diabetes all of which are 95% preventable.
We do nothing in our society to prevent any crisis. We’ll continue to move into hurricane alley, tornado alley, we’ll move where it’s dry as a tinder box, we’ll move to states where there is barely any water left (California), continue to smoke, we’ll eat fast foods, watch stupid television, we’ll spend money we don’t have, we have negative 1.2% savings. The Chinese have almost 38% savings. We’re negative -1. The average American could not last more than one week without an income flowing in or they would hit the poverty level.
35 million Americans are going to bed hungry. And we don’t have a single person talking about why we have 35 million Americans going to bed hungry each day and a hundred million of Americans are very close to that.
But as it is with people in America. We’re looking to dull the pain and looking for others to bail us out. The people in this country have no civic courage, and theres a lack of self respect. Take a look at the way people in this country dress/look. You go around the world you don’t see it anywhere else.
We’re talking about 4 dollars a barrel and what do we hear? It’s the presidential clown race. and if anyone thinks that the Democrats or Republicans are going to change the course, they’re kidding themselves. And I think most people know it but they continue to say the same stupid thing over and over again.
"I’m going with (Clinton, Obama, McCain) with this one because it’s the lesser of 2 evils." What kind of relationship is that? Oh the last person I was with was terrible, this one isn’t as bad but it’s terrible as well. It’s this kind of logic that runs rampant, and it’s pathetic to see.
High prices, people losing jobs, becoming homeless all fuels the fire for a major break down in the country and people will panic and when people panic, all hell will break loose. That’s ok, no body should listen, just watch American Idol, ride around in your SUV and everything will be fine.
The bottom line is, this nation is on a non stop course to destruction and the best that I can say to people is, understand what’s going on and start taking pro active measures to avoid the worst.
I hope these words are a cry in the dark and some people wake up to this truth. Start looking with open minds.
