US Economic Collapse Is Accelerating

The collapse of the U.S. economic and financial system accelerated this year, thus pushing the country closer to a third-world status.  Most Americans are unaware of the dire consequences facing the nation, so they continue to believe business as usual will continue indefinitely.

Unfortunately, lousy reporting by the Mainstream media along with the public's denial and delusional thinking is a recipe for disaster for most Americans over the next several years.

The U.S. economy is being propped up by a great deal of monetary printing, Fed stock and bond purchases and extreme leverage in all areas of the market.  While these policies have given the "ILLUSION" of continued prosperity, or at best a sustainable slow growing economy, the debt now in the system is unsustainable.

I have listed this report so you can see the data it presents. However, it suggests two possible strategies with which I strongly disagree:

1. It seems to be making a case for dumping Social Security; and

2. It says you would be better off if you bought precious metals.

We need to strengthen, not weaken, our social safety net.

And if gold really does take off, it is likely the government will confiscate it. Then what?

No matter who wins the 2016 elections, we are facing deep trouble. Would you rather have a President whose perspective is "America First" or one who thinks the rest of the world comes first?
