“USA is finished and it doesn`t even realize it.”

Yes, I read that part the first time around. If repeating yourself again and again is the best you got, you got nothing.

Being sloughed off with no explanation, brilliant.

I`m in good company with Peter Schiff, meanwhile you can pretend all is well and the USA can borrow it was outta debt and perpetually spend it`s way to prosperity.

I’m not pretending that we don’t have problems, simply pointing out the fact that better men than you (Peter Schiff) have predicted our demise and been wrong every time.

I’ve been hearing people spout your silly crap for over 50-years. Your shrill, “The end is here, the end is here,” rant shows immaturity and a lack of perspective. Your charactarization that I somehow believe in endless borrowing when knowing nothing about me also underscores this point. Creating straw men is part of that nationalistic masturbation exercise I mentioned earlier.

Maybe you are young, but even the Great Depression didn’t end this country and the times then were far, far worse than now.

" Great Depression didn’t end this country and the times then were far, far worse than now." LOL Good one. SChiff would disagree since between then and now the US has spent itself into debt to the tune of Trillions. You`re ignorant if you think this is going to happen overnight or next week. The process has been continual for decades. Once China has a middle class there will be no need for it to buy US debt. Did I ever state a middle class would arise next week? You lack perspective.
