In what ways did the US emerge from World War II fundamentally changed? Consider national power, economic health and the home front.

1. The U.S. emerged as a clear world power
2. The Great Depression was over and industry was booming
3. The U.S. saw the horrors of the Holocaust and had collective guilt about having done nothing
4. African American servicemen returned and the era of Civil Rights began
5. Women had entered the workforce in record numbers

Can you help me…..?

You know it babe! Lets form the perfect dictatorship! We’ll think up a nifty campaign slogan about change wayyyy better than any politician could ever imagine, then we’ll offer to fly all over the world just throwing bags of money to all the middle class areas and after wards we’ll go home to the black house and smoke a big fat blunt while having massive orgies! I think that will solve the economic crisis perfectly. What do you think?

With the middle class falling apart, out of control immigration from the worlds poorest countries, billions of dollars in national debt, sending all our wealth to other nations and borrowing it back, just where do we go from here?
not in the media, but would you not agree that the debt of the government, consumers, and business has grown far beyond the ability to pay it back?

Just look at home and land values which have dropped to a point that it will take years to recover to a level equal to 18 months ago, considering the normal rate of increase is 3-4% a year.

do you work in the media? you sound like an alarmist.
the U.S. will never be as stupid as india or the middle east, two very third world countries. we were there 100’s of years ago. we can never fall behind.

A simple truism is that money is made going AGAINST the market. When everyone is selling buy, and vice versa.

For example, if you buy some undervalued property now, you will be able to sell it for huge gains in a few years. Or, if you hire people who are being laid off, you can bargain for cheaper labor, and sign them into long-term contracts. This means when everyone else is hiring, you will have the cheapest labor, giving you a serious advantage. Take note that the sellers and employees would be willing to trade. You can’t ‘exploit’ people who trade WILLINGLY!

In short, now is the time to scout, examine, and buy.


Basically because it’s industrial strength had not been flattened by bombs and had, in fact, been revved up by the wartime production. It also helped that the United States emerged from the war as a creditor nation.


When the crash is very bad, and a lot of people loose a lot of money. Then it’s too much to expect a bounce back. Perhaps the world will crawl back slowly over a number of years.

A lot of hard work and a frugal lifestyle will eventually enable people to pay off their debts and accumulate some savings too. Which is what the world needs to get back to an economically sustainable lifestyle.

Too much debt makes both the lenders and the borrowers feel insecure. And the only way to eliminate this insecurity is to pay off the debts.

Editor and publisher of International Forecaster, Bob Chapman, discussed the economic crisis, how brokerage firms such as Goldman Sachs played a part in
fueling the collapse, and where he sees the economy heading into the future. He dismissed news that the economic crisis may be abating. Instead, Chapman
said, we are merely seeing a “barrage of government propaganda, the psy ops that go on everyday, convincing people that everything is going to be okay.”

He decried the use of derivatives by large firms like Goldman Sachs and alleged that their nefarious activity goes even further than that. According to
Chapman, these companies pay a fee to have their automated trading computers positioned closest to the central computer of the New York Stock Exchange,
which processes incoming and outgoing trades. “Because of its proximity, in nanoseconds,” Chapman explained, the computers, and thus the firms, become
“privy to orders before anybody else is and they are able to counteract what is going on with the orders, in order to make a larger profit.”

Looking ahead to the future, Chapman foresaw the further devaluing of the dollar, estimating that over the course of the next two to three years,
“it will lose two thirds of its value versus other currencies.” He was skeptical about a one world currency, but did suggest the possibility that one could
be created “for trading purposes only.” This specialized currency would allow for countries to keep their own internal monetary systems. Perhaps most
troubling, he was adamant that the financial crisis will lead to a global war, saying “you can take that to the bank, if the bank is still there.”
