he will be wrong just like all the other loons; we very well could have depression like effects in the near future due to government spending and reliance of the economy on it. pinning an exact date typically is risky propositions as no human can predict the market

Over 90 million out of work and you think this is not a depression?

Sounds like you are a depression apologist.
 
One does get tired of waiting for collapse. Been hearing it since 2008, all very convincing arguments - but !@#$ still hasn't hit the fan. We seem to be aptly capable of printing / lending money to keep the wheels greased.

OP's article was skimpy on the details, what triggers a sell off? What pressures / forces work to sustain it and prevent recovery. Why, suddenly, would the Feds be unable to print their way out of it like they did in 2008?

I see the alarm, but it raises a lot of questions. I do not walk away from this topic feeling confident in the prediction.
 
I am depressed already. Perhaps, I will google some Koch brothers, so I can turn that frown upside down, and then contort it into some kind of angry scowl as I become enraged!

Wait, are you alleging that his message is somehow tied to his desire to make money from that message? 'Cause I'm gonna need some time to process that radical idea.

Well, I won't even bother to burst your bubble with my main man Creflo then.

Why does the OP post stupid shit like this? :hmm:

I think "the great depression" hit Dave about 25 years ago.

The only two things that can make the Feds printing ineffective is either 1) Saudi Arabia starts selling oil in another currency and that starts a chain reaction with OPEC all switching or 2) Saudi Arabia's reserves are exhausted/overstated and somehow BRICs become the primary source of both energy production and consumption in the world.

The latter is more likely to happen since we will will likely involve ourselves in the Middle East militarily with the blood of our young until there isnt a drop of oil left.

I have worked in the Middle East for quite sometime off and on. I can tell you without a doubt if some of these guys were not looney tunes we would have no intel on what is going on!

Including genocide? Even though your own race was a victim of genocide as well? What part of Germany did you not learn? Hmmmmm?<-- you have no clue....you throw around that word genocide as if you know something that nobody else does not know...

I do have a clue.

I was born in the same wing where the nazis were tried and executed.

Don't you know? About 1/3rd of the US population is unemployed!

About 1/3rd of the US population is not in the labor force but that's a very different thing than the US population. The US labor force is about 160 million people.

To extrapolate from a ~64% labor force participation rate to 90 million unemployed means that we're upset that our 4 year olds aren't sewing soccer balls like in Malaysia or wherever.

we are not in a depression. recession yes, depression, no. Government is spending mads amount of money bombing other countries and many of the poor folks without jobs are eating better than the ones with jobs.
 
Kind of like Alex Jones and his Fukashima stories... Which conveniently include a link to his potassium iodide pills he sells.
 
My take on stuff like this is it wouldn't exists to the extent that it does if it wasn't striking a nerve with some peoples gut feelings on the economy.

But yea, its to sell stuff.
 
I remember when Gerald Celente stated there would be collapse and riots by 2011, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhaEc_4zuFI. I also remember Max Keiser say Gold would/could hit $3000 an ounce. Gold did reach near $1900/oz but now fallen back to $1200/oz.

And don't even get me started on Alex Jones...
