post trump, there will be no money and the nations credit will be "junk" [View all]

the crypto reserve will be worthless and ft knox may well be empty or replaced with painted wood.

we are all going to have to live through a few cold winters until an economy can begin to recover.

there will be plenty of dead enders left, and scores of billionaires demanding their contracts be met.

third world countries have depended on USAID during their kleptocratic episodes, but that won't work anymore.

i don't think pitting social security vs snap vs other interests will ever solve the problem.

how do you propose we begin? i can't help but se haiti as our best example, but we really need a better idea.

some form of socialism, will be necessary or we will all be "eating the cats eating the dogs" and worse.
