Before Going Positive.....
Based on the following:
Geithner: No 'Second Wave' To Crisis It is clear that the motions have been set into place for a major black swan event that our buddies Timmy the G and Benny the B can blame for our economy going into a tailspin.....
We are simply at the point where revenues have dropped so low that we are at the critical stage....The Federal Government is running a stunning $2 Trillion dollar deficit, municipalities are facing unprecedented financial shortfalls nationally, foreclosures and mortgage delinquencies keep getting worse, and businesses are now shutting down abruptly across the nation driving the employees into despair.
Clearly we cannot continue down this death spiral much longer without things spiraling out of control......we have dead bodies piling up at morgues because the there is no money to bury the dead, dying industrial cities are facing 30, 40, and 50% non working rates when government is reporting a fraction of that number as unemployed, one in eight Americans are receiving food stamps generating a significant portion of Walmart's and other grocers revenues.
Once you reach the point where you have to tax every American 100% simply to maintain the world as you know it.....you know that world cannot last much longer.
In order to bring a nation out of the Zombulation trance....you must shock the snot out of the citizens simply to give them a pulse to reality.....and when a nation fails to address or be conscious of the above while getting bent over by its bankers and government.....you know that the voltage on the shock must be big.....ALSTRY BIG in order to shock them out of the matrix.
A few likely possibilities include:
1. WW3 on a scale never seen before
2. Total Economic Collapse
3. A Terrorist Act making 9-11 seem like a minor incident
4. Pancake eaters thinking pancake eating is not so fun anymore when so many are in distress......
#4 is the least likely......and the first three are about as equally likely as each other........
At this point, it is not a matter of if....simply when.......and ostensibly getting much much closer when things are so bad and your Treasury Secretary fails to address the problems facing the nation.
