By all definitions the United States of America is BANKRUPT.
The income is 4 trillion, & dropping fast.
The expenses are 6 trillion and rising fast.
The debt is 40 trillion and rising very fast.
The debt-equity ratio is pathetically bad.
The relational data is flawed & unreliable.
The percentage of criminality is massive.
The ignorance on subject is massive.
The momentum is wrong direction.
The prognosis is very dire.
There is nothing stopping this.
SO, the real question is: How to personally steer clear.
Gold, silver, and Bitcoin. You may want to get a little in case they "catch on".
