renman95

I hear 800 pound gorilla can be in same room and no one see. In old country we run like he// if gorilla in room. Why no one run here in Amerika? I read about gorilla here everyday, bot nobody speak of it on tv. I see gorilla everywhere and no one point. You smart comrades know what gorilla is. You comrades teach Renski much. I wish Amerika can learn of 800# gorilla before too late.

That 800 lb. gorilla is about to sit on us and the rest of the world knows it.

The continued printing of money out of thin air has pulled us out of economic downturns for the past couple of decades. The average American thinks "and this to shall pass." As the debt clock shows, we are past bankrupt. If it was not so sad, it would be funny.

While our politicians try to hide the truth, while many so called experts and economists say all will be ok in time, and while the majority of Americans remain oblivious to what is happening, those who control our future (China and other foreign countries that buy our debt) are preparing for the collapse of the American economy.

It will be bad, even for those preparing, but when the dust settles, they will be the new world leaders. China can defeat the United States and the Western World without firing a single shot.

Many on this board will agree while some will write that this is America and we will overcome. I love this country but I will no longer stick my head in the sand and believe all will be ok just because we are America. That debt and liability clock does not lie. Unless, every entitlement program is slashed, fraud and waste are removed, and taxes on everyone are raised, we do not stand a chance in paying off our debt and funding SS, Medicare, and other liabilities.

Call me Mr. Sunshine.

See the pretty charts.........

Mathematics Don't Lie...Politicians Do

a GDP that grows at 5% annually and debt that grows at the actual compound rate it has grown since 1953, 8.7946%.


Question - what % of GDP as Debt can the system stand?

(Comrades! - is gorilla question, winner get banana!).
