Extreme unemployment will be what causes most of this.
It could have all been avoided if we had not been sending all of our jobs to slave labor countries for the past 30 years.
I would not be surprised to see close to 50% unemployment by the end of 2012.
I agree, America will not survive if unemployment gets much worse. As you say outsourcing has existed since the time of NAFTA's inception. Can you tell that to Atilla who seems to feel that in eight months Obama forced a healthy American economy off the edge of a cliff at the point of a Kalishikov.

You'd have to be blind not to see it. I'd say it started under Nixon, so him, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, and Obama share in the blame.
Clinton should get the lion's share of the blame for signing NAFTA.
When we're all walking down dusty streets, our children hanging on to our tattered clothes, passing the bodies of those who could walk no further, then, maybe then, we'll realize that the "THEM" we were so impassioned to blame was actually ourselves.
This system will fail. No one "side" will be responsible despite whatever evidence your media-brainwashed ideology conjures. We've all been swinging on a wild pendulum and now it's gone out to far from center, so it will break and fall. We'll quickly learn what we should have learned long ago about what's real: family, food, air, water, Earth, shelter, and love.
You can respond by arming your fortress to the teeth and raising your blood pressure to record levels, sleeping with one eye open, and planning on hard times. Or you can realize that the only thing that will happen will be that we'll all suddenly find ourselves in the same very large boat, the one we forgot we were in all along.
It doesn't matter what Mr. Celente says or other "experts" say. What does your gut tell you? Are you paying attention to it? With all the blatant misinformation being distributed and all the lies being told, it only makes sense to listen to that still small voice within, provided you can find a quiet place to seek it out. What does your heart tell you? Are you afraid? Or are you willing to tackle the task ahead, one of creating a new system with a far more solid foundation? Or are you ready to let others recreate the current system (with a few minor revisions) and call it a day?
It isn't just "hard times" ahead. It's the greatest opportunity you'll ever have.
I cant rep you again right now, but thought this excellent post, particularly the final sentence, needed repeating.
Predict it every year and some day he might eventually be right. He's predicted the same terrorism, war, tax revolts and economic destruction every year since 1993...why stop now? Slap a new name on an old theory, get some air time and a bit more fame as people who weren't old enough to remember it the first dozen times it got air play give it another flight.
Hey, he makes a good living taking the money of stupid, scared and ignorant people so why not. There's a sucker born every minute.
