But it will also effect social security that people paid into and earned!!
Does anyone else see an economic crash coming?

Never has been, unlike all these sports now days with kids that just want to reward a trophy to all. . .
This was written with love in my heart because I have lived a good life, served in the military for many years when I was proud to, went to college when it was used to educate people for their benefit and when family was built on relationships of love, respect and honor. I have watched as the country I loved and we live in has moved from one of teamwork, historical pride, morality, honor, and tradition to one of dishonor, disrespect, disgrace, division, immorality and revisionist history in order to entice evil, anger, hatred and perversion in its people. It is, in my opinion a great tragedy. I am saddened by what this once great nation is becoming. Everything will continue to change even more and because of where we have come to, many will suffer terribly. Look at San Francisco, i was there in 1983 it was breathtaking. Now it’s a cesspool of filth, drugs, crime, immorality and mental illness. Once the resources there are depleted, people will move into new areas. It’s not just San Fran, every urban center is suffering from these same things.
If the dollar folds as a world wide currency, it will be akin to the apocalypse. Bedlam will eventually prevail. I have a loving wife, three children that I am sincerely proud of and a beautiful 7 year old grandson that I will protect and gladly give my life for, my heart breaks for the innocent.
If the dollar goes, SS goes, so will SSI and SNAP and Welfare and if those go, so do banks and then most of the companies in America. We’ve already reduced mom and pop stores almost out of existence. Add to that all of the recent and future illegal immigration numbers that are going to be dependent on US system resources that we’ve been paying into for our whole lives and eventually you’ll see that the light in the near distance is an economic freight train and it is flying down the tracks right at us. It cannot be sustained. I can do math!!
Most companies depend on federal government subsidies to survive. How much of the economy do you think is fueled in some way by government subsidy checks? How many rappers, drug dealers, pimps and slum lords have gotten rich off money we’ve busted our keisters to pay taxes on that was intended to help people retire and survive in their old age, not thrive.
Many of those funds have systematically been used for people to walk the streets, victimize communities and abuse society. Of course, we have to make sure that people who choose to do those things, have their food, clothing and shelter, as well as their electricity, water, alcohol, drugs, cell phones, etc. covered and if we don’t provide it we’re all racists. Reparations, for actions committed by people that are dead to people that are dead, are actually being considered for people that have no way of advancing themselves unless they remain victims and legally continue to steal from others. Absolutely disgusting.
Then on the other side of the coin, how many wealthy hedge fund managers do you think would go under without a continual influx of your FED tax money inflating the stock market so they can remain rich with no benefit to you or I, while they remain protected from real life? How many banks would fail without your tax dollars in the FDIC covering the losses for rich bankers, their losses are not realized. How many medicines will not be delivered by Medicaid, Medicare or standard Rx pipelines because our medicines are mostly produced offshore or in China and can be controlled so that delivery to the wrong people doesn’t happen if the system shuts down?
The system is rigged folks. Like Carlin said, “it’s a big club, and you’re not in it.” If you are not prepared to survive outside of the system the world government has created for us and our US political hierarchy has accepted for us, then you’re not prepared. Food, water, clothing, shelter, medical, security, barter goods and most importantly a support system of faith in God and trusted loved ones because no one can stand watch 24/7. It’s a huge ask to be prepared for what is coming.
Almost everyone unintentionally overestimates their own abilities, but there are people coming that survive daily out of creating victims. Heartless, that couldn’t give a rat’s butt over what you’ve sacrificed to try and prepare to help you and others survive. Individuals that look down a firearm sight and will not hesitate to pull a trigger, regardless of who it is being aimed at man, woman or child. Pure evil, sociopathic. Those people are dangerous indeed. The old saying, “he who hesitates is lost” may tragically soon become a necessary way of life on a trigger pull. Hard situation for someone with a conscience. Creates PTSD that will remain with you until your life is over.
If you don’t have a support system you can trust with your life, you’re not prepared. If the government does literally, economically and financially shut down, the rule of law will change even more than it has already. (Think the ex-marine in NY that held that maniac threatening everyone on the NY Subway, for police, and he died, will get a fair shake?). 10 years ago he would be lifted up as a hero, but the world government can’t allow people to defend themselves and others from maniacal thugs with 42+ prior arrests. No, the next day we see the picture of them in their cap and gown like they’re something they’re not and the rioting begins if charges aren’t filed and social INJUSTICE isn’t imposed on the innocent. This country has changed my friends. It’s bad folks. The system has become a facade for evil and it’s going to get worse.
I pray you and yours will not become victims. Thank you all for allowing me to be a part of this forum. I sincerely wish it was in a better economic, social and spiritual climate. Let’s keep watching each others 6 and having faith in a relationship with God.

There are some good Tweets in the article to respond. I'm including just a few of them.

Seven more days until the CIA and FBI run out of money to keep their Communist agencies operating . Well at least I can dream it will happen. In reality I suspect the communist controlling Joe Biden will find funds to keep their communist agenda moving forward while the peasants see their economic plight continue to degrade . In a few more years American Citizens may have to swim the Reo Grande River and try sneaking into Central America . I am sure they will feed us , house us and give us free medical care .
At least you got this little river. We´re are we in Europe supposed to sneak in? Africa? Like they do? Swimming through the Mediterranean Sea? I`m sure, they will also send "rescue ships" to the european borders - just like our human-loving-ngos do all the time near the african coast.
As you know @Schlack the italians don't keep the beaches always very clean. I think there's maybe an chance some of the "African Rubber Ferries" are still left there and working or we are halfway lucky to get free entry to Russia
‘The mother of all crises.’ A US debt default would ricochet around the world --- This is one of the scenarios most of us have been preparing for . Neither Republicans nor Democrats are willing to budge on their vision on the financial sovereignty of the United States which as the link explains will devastate Economys around the globe . Think out further than the coming month , think what the situation will be by this winter as things collapse . --- A financial collapse , rioting , panic and desperation may actually be the Biden / communist plan so as to call off the next presidential election . Democrats can't afford to lose the next election or many may be facing prison time or even execution .

Not to worry. The Republicans will cave in to the democrats. That's all they ever do, roll over and compromise. They're all spineless cowards.

DC is a bubble. They spend more time there than they do at home.
We really need to get to the point where the US Congress only meets once a year for about six to 8 weeks and then go home.
They have way too much time on their hands and, as the saying goes, idle hands are the devil’s playthings.

If spending caps aren't cut 99% or more then it is meaningless.

They can't cut spending. We have millions of illegal aliens to support now. Future democrat voters you know.
Here is a video that gets more interesting as it progresses into the food shortages and collapsing of our society . I like the coined phrase of our present time " the quickening " .
--- Here is something now that we are in " the quickening " can help stretch the financial budget . Here is how to make laundry detergent. Already in my stash is a laundry scrub board and wash tub , waiting for a world without a power grid .

I normally make the dry kind. Looks like the liquid type would actually last longer and with out the baking soda.
I use a brand of laundry strip. Saves space. 4x8x2 box of 384 last us 2 years.
Didn’t know what it costs so i looked it up. $119 for 384 is .31 a load. Yes more expensive. But look at the space save from gallon jugs. 6 years worth takes up the space of a gallon jug.

I have a lot more space than money.
I've been making my own laundry detergent for years. I use the castile soap, or fels- Naptha and also use Zote. I've made the dry but it leaves soapy marks on the clothes and doesn't dissolve very good in the water. I add lemon or lavender essential oil for fragrance. I don't think either cleans as good and larry complains and buys Tide anyway for his clothes.
After my wife watched the video on making laundry detergent she went and picked honeysuckle blooms to scent up a batch as soon as the other ingredients are obtained .

The newest video by David Dubyne is about the change he says is coming from LIBOR to SOFR. He is asserting that this is a BIG problem for us.
This graph shows the difference between the two.
My question is, how exactly will this affect us? Someone said it could affect even home loans that are not Variable Rate Loans. My kids have Fixed Rate loans, but this concerns me. Anyone understand this?

The economic crash has indeed arrived . It however so for has been a slow walk into poverty for most . This could escalate depending on the outcome of the United States financial plan or lack of over the coming months . Unless Republicans can overcome what is likely already a rigged deal in 2024 there will only be a deepening financial crises . Frankly though things are so for down the sewer at this point that I am skeptical even if we gain patriotic leadership that we could avoid a deepening of the collapse . I find it troubling to see some that don't seem to comprehend what is ahead . The most likely thing that would make the financial fiasco look mild is World War 3 , which as of today appears to be as unstoppable as a run away train .
--- Face reality
My family group foresaw this years ago and started preparing , constructing enlarged homes and building more living structures . One structure on our grounds 80% complete is being constructed with a one year old baby " my grandson " in mind as to eventually have his own home as an adult.
Here is a video on gardening this year and the collapse facing us . Her meeting up with the old gentleman at the garden area reminds me of one of our members . Those that don't believe things will get that bad and they will be able to buy or barter their way to survival may want to reconsider this approach for their and their family's survival .

Yeah, I LIKE HER! She tends to give life experiencings.
I woke up this morning to find enough Republicans and Democrats were cut enough personal financial gain deals that the U.S. was sold out again . Has anyone ever seen a Washington politician that didn't mysteriously become even more wealthy ? -- What this means to preppers / survivalist . As more worthless paper is printed to resemble currency the x amount of available goods will become much more expensive , thus an Excelleration in inflation . On the flip side those of us that receive a government check regardless as to whether it is in the form of Social Security or some other form will continue to receive the checks , they just will not buy as much . This might give those that didn't finish their preparations some more time , until Russia or China drops the bomb .
