Most
people just assume that since things have always been a certain way
that they will always be that way in the future. Most people just have
blind faith that the people running our government and our financial
system know exactly what they are doing and that they are doing their
best to take care of us. In fact, once upon a time I was fully
convinced of that. When I was a kid I quickly realized that my
elementary school teachers really didn't have the answers, but I had
total faith that those running society at the highest levels were
"experts" that were looking out for our best interests. As time went on
I kept progressing in my education, and by the time I was finished with
law school I came to understand that none of our "experts" really know
what they are doing, and they are definitely not looking out for our
best interests. The blind are leading the blind and we all need to
finally admit that the emperor is not wearing any clothes.
Unfortunately, most Americans will repeat the mantra of "if that was
true I would have heard about it on the news" until it is way too late.
Most people are waiting for the "authorities" to tell them what to do
instead of thinking for themselves. Sadly, time is rapidly running out
and a lot of people are going to end up getting totally blindsided by
what is coming.
The man in charge of our financial system, Federal Reserve Chairman
Ben Bernanke, is not going to save our economy. He didn't see the last
financial crisis coming, and even after things started falling apart he
continued to insist that housing prices would not go down and that we
would not have a recession.
Well, it turned out that we had the worst housing crash and the worst recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
But still millions of Americans are trusting him to save us this time around.
It isn't going to happen.
The truth is that the design of
the Federal Reserve system itself is
fundamentally flawed.
The biggest reason why the U.S. government is 16 trillion dollars in
debt is because the system is designed to create gigantic amounts of
government debt.
Yes, without a doubt the vast majority of our politicians are corrupt
and/or incompetent, but even if we replaced every single one of them
our economic problems would still persist until the underlying
structural problems were addressed.

All I have to say to this is that I agree completely. Those who are unprepared for the crash that will happen needs to get moving and set themselves up for the hard times ahead.
