WTS, there are very clear signs we're in a lot of trouble that won't be recognized by most Americans.

New Police manufactured fear for mass control.
Feds masquerading terrorist prevention to instill fear.
Useless wars to generate patriotic fervor and occupy the violent.
Politicians who grab for their corporate lobbying interest only.
Corporations who dictate tax terms, or lack of with threats of layoffs.
Massive debt that can't be paid back in three life-times.
President who lacks true leadership skills.
Federal Reserve who'll print more money regardless.
The public occupied with massive debt themselves, terrified.

A crash in inevitable because we are too far in debt as Americans bought into hope and change out of desperation. There were lot's of intelligent Jews who were marched off to their deaths with the same, hope and change ideology.

Obviously, it won't be that severe, but the concept of things will get better, with no positive direction option is just stupid. Society is degrading because we don't trust our policing, banks, politicians, the system, and sadly, each other.

As we go to work everyday to hang on to our financial and personal responsibilities we are oblivious that a crash is inevitable or how severe it will be. Again, the signs are clear as slow deliberate changes are occurring to prepare for the sudden fall.

That's how it's going to happen. You'll wake up one day and it's all over and they'll be chaos, anger, rioting, violence, and vigilantism. After all this subsides Americans will come together and understand a huge debt burden has been lifted. We'll spring back stronger with new rules in place, true confident leaders, and fresh memories of the worst case scenario. In this process we'll separate those who felt entitlements were their right, as they will suffer the worst being ostracized with public blame. In the end - we'll be stronger and wiser.

You see this was all planned by the rest of the world because we Americans grew displaced with entitlements causing our debt. As the rest of the world rebuilt from failed wars and political ideologies we grew fat and arrogant with confidence being the world reserve currency. Again, as the rest of the world understand the worst case scenario, our government turned into gangsters with our military and lost focus on how to generate stabilized true wealth. Meaning, why earn it when you can steal/exploit it and live in excess.

The crash will happen like this. Currently, there is a war going on between the dollar and the Euro. The debt ceiling debauchery is a well organized plan to see who blinks first because whomever holds out the longest gets to go on as normal. If the Euro fails it will only revalue the dollar as the worlds reserve and open up new markets in failed economies ie., a rally.

If the dollar fails the world will switch to a basket currency reserve with the Euro leading the way. I am certain this is what the rest of the world wants and to be honest, it's actually a good plan and inevitably the future.
