The tipping point is closer than you think, in my opinion. I have to
do books and financials in a tiny way with a lot of help but I get the
basic idea and what's going on now, the numbers are screaming, not just
speaking for themselves. Unless VERY drastic action is taken VERY
quickly.........

Our opinions differ some.
I personally think the tipping point is already _past_...


Don't you thing the Chinese will continue to pump money into the system
out of the goodness of their hearts? Don't you think that taxing the
**** out of wealthiest 2% of the citizens will pay off the national debt?
Don't you think printed money has full value? Don't you think that
confiscating estates will pay for all the government give-away programs?
Some people believe ALL that!

No... Unfortunately I don't believe any of that.

Not that anything I believe matters...


For what ever it may be worth, what people believe they believe, in this
particular respect, means nothing.

The People have no say in this.

Events will unfold _as they have been set in motion_.

We are at that awkward point where we have stepped off the cliff - and
found
nothing there to step on.

Like Wilie Coyote, we make the dramatic pause, wave bye-bye, and plummet
into
the abyss.



But then, I'm an optimist at heart.

We might as well try to learn how to fly on the way down.
