I feel that never before in our short history we are in a collision course with dissaster. If we continue this unchecked desire to consume we will surely perish as a nation. The American “dream” has become the worlds nightmare. We need to grow up and act in a mature fasion or we will not just jepordize our nation but surely hurt the world as a whole.
Most of the most popular candidates have the same economic education if you really want learn about why this is happening you need to study what Ron Paul has been saying for 10 years. He predicted all of this and there is allot more to come. Its a complex topic it involves many aspect of monetary policy , Bernanke and Greenspan have ruined our economy for decaades to come by printing money every time there is a crisis, its the result of unsound economic practices by the federal reserve. Here are Ron Pauls essays over the last 5 years on this very subject
Industrial capitalism as we have known it is no longer sustainable for two reasons: PEAK OIL and Global Warming are the twin killers of this economic system and most of our leaders already know it. That is why while we are scrambling around looking fo the next political messiah like Ron Paul, our leaders are busy stripping away our political rights and creating a totalitarian state. This is nothing new and has been repeated throughout history - the best recent example is of course the fall of Rome. When things start to fall apart the only thing a conservative government really cares about is maintaining order.The so called ‘war on terrorism’ is being used as an excuse to set up this police state serves as a distraction from the real issues.
Many experts believe that we will reach peak oil by 2012 if we haven’t already reached it. No one knows for certain how much oil is still in the ground. What this will essentially mean is that the total global world economy will start to shrink once we cross that line. It may be a gradual erosion in the beginning, but it will be followed by a steep decline. No politician in is right mind is going to grapple with that issue because no one would vote for him.
So again my only advice is: stay out of debt, live within your means, and try to become as self-reliant as you can.
The economic cliff is in view.
