At Some Point in Time, "The Great Awakening" will led to "The Greatest Depression in the History of The World"
The Outcome will be either a civil war, or a major World War for a last attempt at bringing the system back into alignment.
History proves time and time again that malfunctions and corruption in the system always heads to a "war" to settle the masses when they rise. In the next case scenario . . . (which will happen sooner rather than later) . . . it will take a long time for the dust to settle. The Fed has let its "Zero Rate Interest" policy go unattended to for much too long. Interest rates should have been increasing to stimulate savings by the masses rather than "0 rates" which pay nothing to add some type of incentive for consumers to save their capital rather than spend it.
Right now, consumers are overspent and overcharged.
Consumers have taken what they consider to be "the high road" to save their cash and capital. They have been converting their cash to items they perceive as be equitable while borrowing to purchase the products they hold. Some . . . even taking cash advances from credit cards and plugging that capital into the stock market and various financial instruments in hopes of getting ahead. Instead, they may find themselves in dire straights and living on the streets. Just take a trip down the streets of Tucson, Arizona, Detroit, San Bernadino, the poor districts of San Diego or Los Angeles and see if the picture paints a prettier picture in your mind. Better yet ~ voyage down the Streets of Philadelphia or Pittsburg, Pennsylvania to see the real life horrors of a financial and economical crisis gone awry.
Until the Fed gets reigned in and a most "uncomfortable period" ensues where the road can once again be straightened out and the wheels changed on the vehicles upon the road ~ we are in danger. Everyone is in danger. Not just the poor and the middle class. EVERYONE will be paying a price on the road we now travel.
You are more likely to see Barney the dinosaur walk down your street than to see the every day consumer change their spending habits. However, at some point ~ change will have to come. It's an absolute mathematical certainty. The danger is far from over with a change in the administration. However, that (hopefully) is a start. Whether or not it is a good change is up to the newly elected administration. Trump is being lined up for an extremely dangerous voyage through time. Will time change? Never. Will the course change? Absolutely. Will it be a smooth landing? Absolutely not.
With government control over the people at an all time high (along with the recent stock market numbers) we sit on the precipice of a very dangerous cliff. Martial Law? Civil War? World War? How will this end?
Only TIME will tell.
Stay smart. Be prepared. The year 2017 will go down in history as the wildest economical restructuring in recent memory.
