Food banks and such have unprecedented numbers of people right now...

Not sure on the numbers today, but some places have areas set aside for those living in their cars...it was in CA I believe.

3. At least 6 major US riots.
No real riots yet...

4. Unemployment 15-20%
I think the official figures are VERY low due to the method used.we are probably already into double digits,CA has almost 10% unemployment NOW.

We are heading into absolutely DIRE times. And I do not use the term lightly. Anyone who feels otherwise, is hiding under their blankets. This chit is real and as real as it gets. All the signs are there and anyone whom thinks big daddy government will save the day, is in for a VERY rude awakening.
Posts like this will be ignored,it is uncomfortable for the majority to think about the very real possibility of such happenings...
"This is America,things like that don't happen to us"
It seems the new way to get out of the hole dug by spending too much is to spend more....

This go around there will be total collapse, and I figure, it will be used as an excuse by the PTB's to foist something on us to further enslave us, like a NAU, or worse. I would prefer to see the U.S. break up.
I'm still waiting for one of those financial experts to tell a person who calls in to their show...
Caller: "I have $2000 house payment, $50,000 in credit card debt and $20,000 car payment"
Orman: "Okay you need to go get another credit card with twice as much of a limit as the other one. Then you need to go spend it all on school, maintenance for your car, infrastructure for the home and schooling so you can setup yourself up nicely for the future. Find a husband that thinks you are a sugar mama (politician). Then pass your bills off when you die to your kids."
