What If there aren't any answers?

Question

what is everyone speculating today about the economy is no better than the ones who got us where we are today?  Maybe there are no good answers ....that we just have to wait and see what happens?

Perhaps this economy is totally new ground--that's just beginning to shift? Aren't things moving too fast to compare it to past recessions?  So much at once?

Michael Rossi · Answer

I agree!  It could take many years for us to bleed to death and this economy to collapse.  The government is currently throwing everything they have at this "crisis" and they will keep doing so until the people lose faith in our currency; our nation; and our socialist government.  For that to happen, the government will need to start defaulting on it's promises to all those that feel entitled to receive government handouts.

Don, unfortunately I don't have the qualifications to be in Washington.  I am honest and I pay my taxes.  Hardly qualifications to join the scumbags in Washington that are stealing our future a trillion dollars at a pop!

Mike you should be an economist for the government with the power to do the things you suggest. I usually have to stick my 2 cents in to any reply I make but I believe you've already expressed my thoughts. Way to go!
Good luck,

I'm worried about how long it will take to put us out of our misery.

Since the government is elected and supported by the vast voting power of the lazy, the disenfranchised and the entitled, we may be in for an extended period while the government tries new fixes and various bandaids before realizing we're way past the tourniquet stage.

Bleeding out will not be fun and will probably occur in ways different from the past, except in the pain.

And the end result will either be a new and truly great government and society, or something very, very bad.

I would love to see that! Unfortunatly society is to dependent and babied on credit for it to happen. I don't think (as much as i would like it to) that the government would ever let the standuard of living fall like it did in the 30's. Hell the government wont even let people fall on their ass in times of economic prosperity. All they do is tell them "falling is bad, if you ever fall you will probably die and won't ever be able to get yourself up, you need us"
