Party on then Garth! While middle class America is raped and unemployed it is ok that a bank made a great profit off the backs of the people.

Problem: Fraudulent fractional reserve banking and money printed out of thin air by private banking cartels and loaned at interest to government(s) and taxpayers. There is no free market economy in place. Government does everything wrong (deliberately) via a crazy and inept monetary policy. Dollars printed out of thin air in the hundreds of billions or trillions until basic economics says dollar hyperinflates and is destroyed. First, of course, there will be price depressions, then the whiplash. We are in the money printing business. America finally pays for being a fake spend/consume economy, while actual producing economies like China elevate far above the West. Americas save and invest 2%; Chinese save and invest 35%. We are the parasitic tic surviving off the labors of others.
Reactions: US citizens will object when the economy really implodes, it has only started. They may or may not figure out the culprit in the collapse of the economy and the destruction of their children's future was the Fed. Most will blame the 'free market' because they are ignorant as to what is happening or 'bad times.'
Next up, nationalization of banks and major industry. Don't believe the B.O. puppet that claims that is not the case. It will happen. That is the plan. 90% tax rates. USA converts to socialist model by design. Government power grab over everything. The closest comparison is Russia 1989-90. Middle class wealth wiped out. Mild rebellion only, thanks to propaganda, docile populace, and the cooperation of churches telling their 'flock' to go along to get along.
Solution: New FIAT currency, government offering crumbs to the starving. People willing to accept crumbs, after all, they are dead broke and desperate. New currency and broader global banking and government was the goal. Broader range NAU currency or global currency gives the bankers what they always wanted. IMF/CFR runs the new union. USA ceases to exist - it may still be called that though. US/Mex/Canada as one. Not so bad, personally I have always like Mexicans and Canadians aren't that bad either. No more borders to worry about. Will miss having the fake freedoms though.
The world is sliced up into unions, most if not all with failing FIAT currencies and economic planned simultaneous collapses.
All of this is in fact an illusion since scarcity is a myth. There is plenty of food, fuel, shelter for every person on the planet 100x.
Nothing can be done at this point to stop this, there is no reason to get all worked up. We decided as a society to fall asleep, accept every ridiculous lie and deception, and let our masters take over long ago.
The great experiment is near its end. The best you can do is protect yourself on an individual basis the best you can. Accept and adapt. Party on.
