[QUOTE="21_years_in, post: 5944631, member: 36676"] The $h!t is going to hit the fan here in the next few years what with the ***federal debt***, private debt, interest rates/inflation, & the cost of living. One could look at forced austerity measures anywhere from Greece (a good example) or Kenya (not a good comparison to the US, but who knows?). I think that forced austerity measures are imminent for the US federal budget. There is no scenario in which that is pretty (or even comfortable) for 99% of the people in the US, regardless of how those people vote. It really should be haves vs. have-nots, rather than red vs. blue. I predict that we will see a lot of economic pain for everybody except the wealthy. In hindsight, the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 will look like a walk in the park. Not much good news here other that whatever plans you execute arising from the foresight that you should have now. We have been swindled and fleeced. [/QUOTE]
