What people need to accept the fact that the USA will soon crash for good

That is the part that will lose all but the most hardcore conspiracy theorists.
The USA will not "crash for good." It is the driving economy behind the whole world. We have military bases and citizens in every major country in the world. We have the most armed populace in the world. We have the worlds most well-equipped and well-trained military. We have allies all over the world.
We will get the depression we have earned by our frivolous spending and overindebtedness, but we will persevere and come out the other side.

Pravda is crap, sorry. The fact that they reference Nostradamus in their article is proof that they are nothing more than a tabloid. They aren't even propaganda... just tabloid fodder.
Pravda might not be Sorcha Faal, but it's right up there.

Can anyone explain to me. How amid all the bad news today, and the absense of any good news what so ever, why the markets have rallied so high? Dow closing at 165??? How is that possible since there was no good news at all? I realize that the dow is rigged and can't be trusted, but honestly..... how does that work?

At that point, the last straw will fall, and we will have to slash our military budget to a fraction..after living a couple years with no troops abroad, no weapons being invested in, etc etc etc, and living in general peace, we can rebuild without the concept that we need a hyper inflated military budget...just a tiny token force of nerds and robots to protect the homeland and that is it...let the rest of the world sort out their own problems and stop trying to find enemies to test new tech on...pretty simple.

I do not believe that DOW is going up because there is a conspiracy to hide the reality. I would say the inflation has started , simply things are getting more expensive , especially where we have a limited market of tangible assets and an increased volume of fiat money. I could be wrong but this is my take on DOW not collapsing.
The share of young people aged 16 to 24 who were employed this summer fell to 48.9 percent -- the lowest rate on record since 1948.
Knowledge of the recession and bad job market may have kept young people from even looking for work. Also, many in that age group could have been enrolled in summer classes and not seeking employment.
For whatever reason, the proportion of the 16-24 age group that was working or looking for work also dropped this summer to its lowest percentage on record -- 60.6 percent. That was 2.5 percentage points below the rate recorded in Juy 2009 and 17 percentage points below the peak of labor force participation for that age group in July 1989.
About 4.4 million youth were actively searching for work and considered unemployed in July this year. That produced a youth unemployment rate of 19.1 percent, the highest rate on record for the month.

Maybe he should have bought the "EASY" button from staples. I really don't think there was an easy fix for any of it. I also don't think who ever would have been elected besides Obama would be doing any better.
PS: I didn't vote for Obama.
