Yes as a matter of fact I am an economic expert.
All gains and "record profits" are being propped up by the federal reserve printing 85 billion dollars a month and injecting it into the economy.
They cant stop the printing because no one is buying our government bond.
so the government on its current course is being funded by printed money!!!!!
If the printing press are stopped, intrest rates will skyrocket and the government will be Insolvent in a matter of months. if the printing presses keep running, they will have to continually increase the amount of money printed to have the same effect until we reach hyperinflation and the currency collapses. This latter is the course the government is taking.
once the currancy collapse all bets are off. No shipments of fuel, no food at the supermarket, all Business stops!
We are talking about the collapse of Rome part 2 and it will happen in the next 7 year!

I'm aware of the history of the federal reserve, as I used to be a crazy conspiracy theorist who thought it was ran by reptile aliens. I am now simply indifferent to its existence.
Hate for the federal reserve to me seems more like an opposition to the whole idea of central banking, which quite honestly seems to have worked throughout the world.
I am more curious to hear your answers to my other questions
I not quite clear on what your other questions are?

Sorry as I said my questions may sound stupid as economics confuses me.
The Federal Reserve is lending money to the government correct? They are doing this by simply printing vast sums of money correct? If they are doing this to support the government, then why are we paying taxes at all? Are not our taxes what goes to support the government?
If the economic climate is so bad and catastrophic collapse is as imminent as you make it out to be. Then would not every major economist on he face of this planet propose austerity measures?
I ask this because the vast majority of economics experts say that such measures would greatly increase unemployment and cause a lack of incentive in consumers to actually purchase products.
And I ask again...
Even if all you say is true, it leads no credence to your original premise that the "corruption" of civil society has led to economic collapse.
If what you say is true, than simple greed, political corruption, and fiscal irresponsibility are the only things to blame.
