If the US were a company, it’d already be in Chapter 11.
FoxNews published a WHOPPER of a story yesterday, though it somehow has not caught the attention of most people. If you have issues with Fox them at the door for a moment and simply focus on the numbers.
For the first time since the Great Depression, the US is now officially paying out more in benefits than it takes in via tax receipts.
If the US were a company, it’d be spending more in salaries than it makes in sales. Aside from being unprofitable, it’s also got a MASSIVE debt load. And it’s current policy of paying out more than it makes only increases this debt load… which begs the question… who’s going to pay the interest payments on the debt?
Now, about those payments…
More than half of all Americans (59%) receive a Government payout in one form or another.
This is not a sliver of the population… it is endemic to the system. So those who complain endlessly about Government spending need to consider they as well as half of everyone they know, likely gets some kind of assistance in the form of social security, Medicare, food stamps or what have you.
Here’s another zinger: Government payouts account for 79% of household growth since 2007.
In other words, the only thing that has kept the US consumer afloat in the last four years is payouts from Uncle Sam.
Put another way, the private sector has contributed roughly one out of every five dollars in household growth since the Great Depression 2.0 started in 2007.
To say that these policies are unsustainable is the understatement of the year. The only reason the US hasn’t seen a complete debt implosion followed by hyperinflation is because the Federal Reserve is propping up the debt market with money printing.
Yes, we are supporting our debt load by creating more money out of thin air. It is absolute insanity and a clear signal that we’re rapidly approaching GAME OVER for the US’s monetary system.
There is only one way out of this mess and that is default. The US cannot EVER pay back its debts. A US default is going to happen GUARANTEED (hyperinflation induced by endless money printing is just another form of default). When this happens, the US Dollar will collapse, lose reserve currency status, and inflation will rip through the system destroying the purchasing power of anything paper-related.
So if you’re not preparing for mega-inflation already, you need to start doing so NOW. The Fed WILL continue to pump money into the system 24/7 and it’s going to result in the death of the US Dollar.

Well... being one of the 41% that isn't getting any money from the government... I realize that things are not going to improve. Even if we could manifest a whole House and Senate of Ron & Rand Pauls, it's already too late. The bankers pretty much own everything... and that's been the globalist cabal's plan from the start. We've seen it going down in so many countries. The only thing we can do is get "prepped" so our families will survive the collapse.
Please... please... please... if you are reading this blog, take time out to pull your friends to one side and educate them. Even if you can't get them to yank their 401K and pension funds out of the system and put it in metals, at least talk them into storing at least a 90 day supply of food. You will save lives by doing so. It is also very heartening to hear from people that they are already ahead of the game.
