We are one step from a massive financial meltdown that probably can’t be stopped,


Yup, we’re not going to get out of this one. A real old friend of mine (we’re both 70+)and I were talking the other day that we were born at the opportune time in American history, lived and worked in the greatest nation on earth and will probably be gone by the time Americans will be living like the poor in Zimbabwe (public sector excepted ofcourse). The timeing was perfect for us. We were lucky.

Some don’t think it can happen? It has already started.

Good point Joan. My 77 year old father just told me the same thing. He feels that he lived a good life and reaped its sows and were stuck with the bill.

Realistically you are looking at a window of maybe as little as 24 months or less.
I almost feel next month, October, when things seem to happen could tell the tale.
