“The spirits of darkness are now among us. We have to be on guard so that we may realize what is happening when we encounter them and gain a real idea of where they are to be found. The most dangerous thing you can do in the immediate future will be to give yourself up unconsciously to the influences which are definitely present.” ~ Rudolf Steiner

National debt in 1980 was 908 billion and didnt reach 1 trillion until 1982. Minimum wage was around 2.90 per and if you made twice that were I lived you could make your house payment on less than you took home in a 46 hr work week with 1 1/2 days off and your spouse not working 40 hours. The amount of fiscal damage done in the past 23 1/4 yrs is staggering. Debt up about 450 percent and rising , GDP averaging a dismal 1.9 percent per yr and dropping. The paper dollar is doomed , not seeing it last another 20 - 24 yrs.I feel like this is somehow symbolic...

What makes me sad is that this span of time has exactly correlated with the power-curve of my career. I cannot describe in words the amount of devastation that inflation has done to my finances. Like most Americans my age, I do not believe for one second that Social Security will be anything more than a token payment sent out as a fig-leaf over a failed nationalized pension system by the time I get there. It's all just money sunk into the abyss (and has been all along). And the precious few dollars I've managed to scrape together over decades of saving are dwindling in value day-by-day.
But what makes me angry -- mad as hell -- is that my children, who are just now reaching adulthood, are entering an economy defined by total, inescapable, systemic collapse. No matter what path they choose in today's defunct economy, they are virtually guaranteed to be paupers, nomads and dispossessed. Even if the most iron-fisted fiscal conservative imaginable were elected to POTUS in 2024 and delegated temporary dictatorship over the US budget by Congress in order to get the country "back on track", it's hopeless. $32 trillion dollars is an absurd number, it's nearly twice the value of all the land in the US by some accountings. And for what? What did "We The People" get in exchange for the hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt per capita charged to the national credit-card by the joint mafia coalition of DemonRATs and NeoCONs? Nothing. We got lots of bombs dropped in the desert. Whoopdy-freakin-doo. If I had to pick 10 reasons that I know for sure that hell exists, this would be on the list. You cannot mortgage an entire country twice over for nothing in return, and imagine that you are somehow going to escape the flames of hell. What unimaginable audacity and flagrant criminality. My childrens' economic future has been absolutely devastated and destroyed before they ever had a chance to set their hand to the plow...

That's why we will default, and why we will seize the stolen wealth.
