The U.S. government is bankrupt. About half the States are bankrupt. The economy is heading into a technical recession again. (A recession based on the government’s fudged economic numbers) The state and federal governments are at the point where they are looking for change under the couch cushions. This is just a warning. Don’t let the change they find be your bank accounts and retirement funds. That’s what governments do.
It’s interesting to watch an empire collapse. Empires don’t get conquered. Sure, sometimes war is a final nail in the coffin, but empire always die by economics. It’s as regular as the seasons. That doesn’t mean we’re all doomed. Empires die, people survive. Prepared people thrive. – Colonel Nogov
