Let's examine "fraud". Millions of people were led to believe they would be paid far more than they ended up getting. They didn't get what they expected. OK, looking deeper, it was impossible we would all end up millionnaires just by owning a house, etc. Furthermore, we would NOT have worked so many hours, nor worked so diligently, if we knew. What this really means, is that the market-clearing price of labor among the total agents in the dollar economy is not "clearing" the excess labor. The labor is not productive enough, that the market itself is willing to pay for all the work. The work is not producing satisfaction. Do you catch my drift? It is good and natural that the economy only requires perhaps a 30 hour work week, or 2/3s of the present employment. That's what people really want, if you're willing to face the awful truth: we just want a decent place to live, and food. And that's pretty easy to achieve, with far less work than today's excessive useless commotion. The "Economy" is actually far too large, and should shrink further.Todd Boylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04972023745568105308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-13512282805890910392011-06-04T08:59:35.324-07:002011-06-04T08:59:35.324-07:00Having been looking at the coming depression for a...Having been looking at the coming depression for a while now, mostly from energy standpoint...we've managed to get rid of our debt aside from a smaller than average mortgage payment. We have a half acre garden, greenhouse, chickens,a well, and live in a neighborhood that is very tight and believes that the American way of life is negotiable and will to be for some time to come. I think knowing your neighbors and working with them will be key to seeing the future times through. Doesn't hurt to have your food situation figured out as well.Eric's Artworxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14324356638173357606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-22003825293201319092011-06-03T07:15:58.997-07:002011-06-03T07:15:58.997-07:00so maybe people that own their property with no mo...so maybe people that own their property with no mortgage and owe nothing nothing other than usual monthly living expenses are the ones better off? maybe some precious metals stashed? how about the ability to grow your own food on your own land and the ability to collect your own water and wood for a fire?MasontheMasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689704577203326220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-14640436239732080362011-06-02T12:25:26.519-07:002011-06-02T12:25:26.519-07:00My criticism of this excellent article would be th...My criticism of this excellent article would be that it relies on official statistics, which we can be certain are themselves lies.<br /><br />Also, most people secretly know, I'm convinced, that there will never be a recovery. They know that the world that is coming, and coming fast, is a world where most people have no jobs, and those who do have jobs, work in the military and the police.easyplankinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15341768486833105435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-64598110491732404042011-06-02T10:08:23.463-07:002011-06-02T10:08:23.463-07:00Don't you, all, just love the way tptb and the...Don't you, all, just love the way tptb and their slaves, the mass media, keeps trying to scare the pants off off us?<br /><br />But it is THEY that are scared to death, that they won't be able to keep squeezing the last drop of blood from us!<br /><br />I do believe, we will do VERY well without the present economy, so detrimental to us- we WILL do better!<br />When the sweet cream puffs hit the fan, NOT the s#@%*# - we've already been experiencing that for decades, if not millennia -and it has been detrimental to us, Humanity -- but this time, when THEIR invented economy goes down, it will be the cream puffs all over our faces and us - <br /><br />that's what tptb are scared to death of us finding out.<br /><br />Our OWN Monetary System - our own Local Councils and Laws - will be better.

I haven't figured that out for myself, but I am just trying to get as many people to wake up as possible. It's all I can do at this point. There will come a point of desperation, though, when the US has its own Tahrir Square moment. How our government reacts to that is the looming question, IMO.Don Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06335610192079596424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-2669265857945432682011-06-01T15:34:41.397-07:002011-06-01T15:34:41.397-07:00You write
