The Good Old Days are Over

But don’t worry, there are elections coming.  Surely the American public can see the dire straits our nation is in and elect leaders who can recognize and deal with the nation’s problems and bring us back to becoming a nation of producers instead of consumers, right?  Leaders will be elected who will make the extreme sacrifices necessary to bring forth a United States where the outstretched hands of the masses will be filled with charitable donations from a robust society instead of being empty, waiting for them to be stuffed with their entitlement from the government, all the while feeling as though they earned it because they stand unproductively on dirt within our border.

I have to apologize for the last paragraph; I have always wondered what it would feel like to write fiction.  The hard cold reality is that there is no possible orderly way out of the financial mess our society is in and the above mentioned dirt was probably the last thing made in the USA.  To break it down simply, here are some simple and easy to understand economical facts:

  1. You need to produce more than you consume or you are broke.
  2. You cannot pay off a credit card with a credit card without consequences.
  3. There is no possible way the nation’s debts and unfunded liabilities will ever be paid.
