| The following are 11 facts that show that Europe is heading into an economic depression… 1. The economies of 17 out of the 27 countries in the EU have contracted for at least two consecutive quarters. 2. Unemployment in the eurozone has hit a brand new all-time record high of 11.7 percent. 3. The unemployment rate in Portugal is now up to 16.3 percent. A year ago it was just 13.7 percent. 4. The unemployment rate in Greece is now up to 25.4 percent. A year ago it was just 18.4 percent. 5. The unemployment rate in Spain has hit a brand new all-time record high of 26.2 percent. How much higher can it possibly go? This is already higher than the unemployment rate in the United States ever reached during the Great Depression of the 1930s. 6. Youth unemployment levels in both Greece and Spain are rapidly approaching the 60 percent level. 7. Earlier this month, Moody’s stripped France of its AAA credit rating, and wealthy individuals are leaving France in droves as the socialists implement plans to raise taxes to very high levels on the rich. 8. Industrial production is collapsing all over Europe. Just check out these numbers… You don’t have to be an economic genius to understand that the perpetual uncertainty over the Eurozone’s future has led to a widespread freeze on industrial investment and development. Industrial production is collapsing at an accelerating rate, falling 7% year-on-year in Spain and Greece, 4.8% in Italy, and 2.1% in France.9. There are even trouble signs in the “stable” economies in Europe. In Germany, factory orders in September were down 3.3 percent from the month before, and retail sales in October declined 2.8 percent from the previous month. 10. The debt of the Greek government is now projected to hit 189 percent of GDP by the end of this year. 11. The Greek economy has shrunk by more than 7 percent this year, and it is being projected that the Greek economy will contract by another 4.5 percent in 2013. But sometimes you can’t really get a feel for how bad things really are over there just from the raw economic numbers. Many people that are living through these depression-like conditions are totally giving in to despair. Just check out the following example from an RT article from earlier this year… A 61-year-old Greek pensioner has hung himself from a tree in a public park after succumbing to the pressure of crushing debt. A note in his pocket indicates he is merely the latest in a rash of economic crisis-induced suicides.Please take note of what is happening in places like Greece and Spain right now, because similar conditions will soon be coming to the United States. This is one reason why I try so hard to encourage people to prepare for what is coming. There is hope in understanding what is coming and there is hope in getting prepared. You don’t want to end up getting blindsided by the coming crisis and end up sitting on a park bench trying to figure out if life is still worth living or not. Life is most definitely worth living. Yes, a storm is coming and the world is going to become incredibly unstable in more ways than one. But if you understand what is coming and you work hard to prepare, then you and your family will have a chance to thrive even in the midst of the storm. Please learn from what is happening over in Europe. The economic horror show that is unfolding over there is going to come to America too, and time is running out. |

Liberals talk about booming incomes at the top while lower-income households barely see benefits from economic growth. Conservatives talk about a rising share of the population that depends on government benefits and a shrinking share that pays income tax.Ah, yes, the old argument that “the rich” benefited so much. There’s one problem with that, of course — when someone becomes rich (or richer) they tend to buy things with the money, directly and indirectly. This in turn tends to boost economic activity (someone has to build the yacht, Lear Jet, etc) in the general case. This is the premise the right tries to advance, and there’s a clean logical argument for it. So why does the claimed disparity advance (and it does) if wealth is of no value simply in accumulation, but rather only is of value to a person when used in some form or fashion? That’s the $64,000 question, and our author here unfortunately blows his own argument’s brains out when he pinpoints what I’ve been saying now for years: |
Another "bug out" or going under into bunkers? Over 2 years its been one right after the other at the top. Retired, stepped down, resigned, etc...enough to staff another Army somewhere or enough to start up another government underground or something.
