This should be engraved over everyone's threshhold. Anybody who does not believe this is either not paying attention or is in deep denial.
I constantly misunderestimate the ability of sovereign governments to delay the day of reckoning, especially the USA’s ability to do so. I am constantly wrong.
I use to try to invest based on knowing what was coming, but my timing has been so far off, I’ve given up. Fortunately this haven’t hurt me financially as at least I was poised for what was coming. I just thought I could make much more off of knowing, but I am always so wildly wrong on the timing, I make small amounts, not big as hoped.
At this point, I am just aiming for 100% safety and the heck with gains. Call me a coward, but it lets me sleep well at night.
My old 401k just rots in bonds (improving very slowly) while the rest of my “savings” dollars goes to junk silver and improving my Prepper farm in KY.
The best investment of all is the tools that can allow you to survive if the SHTF, or support your life style if it doesn’t.
Who's to say we don't deserve it, too?
You get the government you vote for and then tolerate.
“What sane man actually seeks the position of responsibility for a system that is on the verge of collapse and there is no human solution?”
I doubt very seriously that any election will solve this problem myself, especially when one candidate is a communist (D) and the other a socialist (R). When your debt exceeds your ability to pay it off, and you are merely paying the interest, then the point of insolvency has already been reached, and then it becomes a matter of creative accounting as to how long it can be concealed. Both parties are going to ignore this as long as they can- and pass the buck to each other until the collapse.

I think they have been doing that for a long time. And I think the “collapse” time is about here.
