If the collapse of the US economy does come, and all sources lead me to believe we are right this moment teetering on the point of no return, the problem that is most distressing to me is that NEITHER candidate, nor most Americans, have even figured out just what is bankrupting America.

As a result, there can be no real cure of the economy and Soros and his friends will have won a long, 10 year, hard fought battle by using proxy speculators and the increased demand for oil worldwide to raise oil prices enough to topple the US economy. Combine those with the last 20 years of a 500 billion dollar per year sucking sound at our borders and anyone with a head should be able to do the math as to what happened to America's 233 years of saved wealth as it floods to nations overseas.

This is interesting to me, personally, because this was supposed to happen around 2020 - not 2008. The best think tanks miscalculated on the date. It is amazing how perceptive Soros, or his henchmen were, to identify, attack and destroy our weakest spot - the spot of the US economic diamond - and pound it with his economic hammer. I congratulate him on a game well played.

Even now, US wealth is bleeding all over the world at rates unprecedented in our nation's history.

At this point, the only thing that can buy the US some time is yet another Ponzi scheme. The IPOs of 1997, were very efficient at creating huge virtual US wealth. The Real Estate price surge of 2004 was as well. Something similar on those lines will need to be created.

Handing each US citizen a check for $2,333 would have done far more than the 700 billion bailout of a financial system holding assets that possess now primarily virtual wealth. (mortgage values)

The government basically bought an invisible, pink elephant that sings "God Bless America," in Chinese, for 700 billion taxpayer dollars.

The media will annoint either a President McCain or Obama as saviors once they sink further into the economic abyss the rest of US America is now entering and their advertising dollars disappear. Unfortunately, neither of them WILL save America. Neither are smart enough or courageous enough. There will be no modification of the citizenship law, adjustment of the minimum wage or anything EVEN RESEMBLING a real and viable solution to shape America's government to facilitate retrieving some of the lost wealth and rebuilding America from the ashes.

A socialist movement, by desperate, fearful and unintelligent Americans has been Soros final solution for the USA, well played using MoveOn. Only here in the USA the victims jump into the gas chambers themselves - and DEMAND the gas be turned on.

The government will willingly oblige.

It's not fun folks. The very rich WILL get richer. The merely rich will get poorer. The poor will still be poor and the upper poor, the middle class and the upper middle class all are getting poorer and will eventually be statistical anomalies.

The smart rich will buy objects of objective value for pennies on the dollar. They will retrieve these from the hard up, out of work, middle class and upper middle class who are trying desperately to pare down and pay a mortgage. The lower class will be able to get some things they did not possess as well from the middle class as the great sell off of easily liquedifed possessions has already begun.

If the US auto makers fold, 7 out of 10 US jobs will disappear as well. That's when the big one hits. That's why Soros smartly targeted oil. The Auto industry is this nation's diamond center and oil prices was the one tiny, seemingly detached, flaw that could send it flying into a thousand pieces.

I know what the US does after this scenario.
I know how it plays out.
I've seen it all before.
It's not pretty.

Gold isn't the answer, nor are diamonds or cash. Objective value is the key: property, clothes, cars, furniture, consumables both edible and otherwise. As companies start folding in succession, the goods start to disappear from the shelves of the markets. The panic starts and the hoarding begins. The black market springs up over night. In 2008, I expect that global free networks like Craigslist will serve as local black market trading centers.

This post could contribute to that, fortunately the Zone's traffic is way down, due to certain posters, which keeps this post from scaring too many folks into a rush to their local market to fill up six carts worth of food & supplies.

It's the big cities and the blue states that will suffer the most. The farms are truly self sustaining, but the population centers fall apart when the trucks, trains and ships stop bringing in supplies to provide for them.

The good sides?

1) Many of the illegals will return home, finding no work and a very unwelcome and unhealthy environment to remain in.

2) House prices and car prices will plummet to their actual objective value. The environment will be saved - as factories around the world shut their doors because of no money rolling in.

3) People who normally were politically clueless (like many here) will after only a few short years wake up and realize that the touchy-feely UN and globalist stuff was just a ruse by anti-Americans to destroy America and loot Americans of their homes, cars and worth. The totally clueless will still be clinging to their hate of GWB and their belief that the UN and Europe really does know everything better. Those few will well deserve their losses.

4) Foreign aid will completely dry up. The suicidal habit of sustaining and feeding the same 3rd world that seeks our destruction will, after 50 years, finally end.

5) A new American will emerge - a wiser one. One that realizes America comes first and will not fall for the same PC sucker punch. The kids that live through this depression will be have a new value system. They will be tending their own vegetable gardens, fixing their generators, purifying their water and will not be spending time watching TV, movies or playing brain-dead video games.

6) The greedy rich, that brought about this collapse, will realize it is not so fun to live in a world that has been plundered. That having to look over your shoulder when you are on the street, or out your window before you leave your house, is no fun at all.

7) Soros' goal will fail. While he will have succeeded in throwing the US back 80 years, he will not succeed in elevating those 3rd world nations significantly. He makes the mistake all guilty imbeciles make when evaluating the 3rd world. He assumes it is a deficit of money, when it is anything but. It is a deficit of mind.

That he cannot undo even if every dollar in the US rains down upon the nations he chooses.

So Sorry Soros.
