Nobody Cares About The Economy

[DemocratInSoCal]

Things are about to go completely to pot. The dollar is collapsing, and the U.S. economy is a house of cards, in a declining housing market.

And does anybody really care? Is that what people are most concerned with? Regardless of whether the favorite Mr. Obama or the trailing Mrs. Clinton were to get into office, that's still a full 10 Months Away. During that time, FAR MORE DAMAGE will have been done. Even were they to introduce a plan, and get it fast through a thus far Inept Congress, it will take another several months to implement.

So now we're talking At Least 16 Months of a Worsening situation. If McIdiot gets elected, the U.S. as we knew it, is History.

But nobody seems interested in telling the truth. What the Fed is doing, and how the economy is potentially in it's most precarious position since the 1930's.

Will people realize anything when gas is consistently at $4/gallon? Will it take $5.00? When are the candidates going to get up and admit, that things could realistically get so bad, that even they won't know where to begin repairing the damage.

And STILL, the IMPOTENT CONGRESS, WON'T DO A DAMN THING TO GO AGAINST THIS ADMINISTRATION!!!

$6/Gallon???? $2.50 Vs. Euro?? WILL THAT MAKE PEOPLE WAKE UP????

1. Who would tell that truth?

If everything were indeed about to fall apart, how many executives, news directors, editors would want to be called out as the one who started a panic?

The stock market information is provided every day on every broadcast (local and national).

There is no context given of course. But no story in the USA is given context anymore. You can't fit context into a repeating 15 minute news cycle on CNN.


Who has the capacity to talk about the economy from a position of knowledge and honesty? Who would be that spokesperson?

If a politician wanted to bring this up, would the media cover it? For more than 15 minutes?


I can't tell my family how to invest. But I can ask simple questions like "How's the emergency savings account doing?" "Do you have a couple of weeks+ of food in case of a natural disaster?" and so on. I can plant that seed, but unless they want to hear it, they won't hear it.

2. unfortunately, most people aren't going to care until it bites them on the ass

at which point it will be too late. Such is the History of 'Civilization' in a nutshell.
