Yep, 2010 was the eye of the hurricane. Record
category 5 financial storm. We are now down to
"stimulus off" no ammo left side. Speedy gonzalez
markets will be common.

A lot of factors were building up this crisis, can't
pin it all on GOP. I am not saying the policies were
wise. In fact, I am a solid D., not because I like D,
or what O has been doing. I just think they are marginally
better for the country. O said the right words, just didn't
do jack chit, or couldn't -g-

The politicians are irrelevant in the end?

I can compare this to the collapse of Soviet Union,
which I witnessed as a child.

Mr. Brezhnev was a "leader" like GW - namely, absent
from the job. Too old, too sick, out of it. The elite
ruled and robbed the country. It started the descent in
the 70-s, then there was Afgan war that cost lives and
money. The demographics also sucked big time - few children of
WWII generation, they could not find enough for the draft.
GW was simply not smart, and the elite GOP ruled the country.

Gorby said right stuff, but did little, got international
recognition, got out of Afghanistan.

And then SHTF.... 6 years after Gorby came, 2 years after
troops were pulled out.

Sounds familiar?

If the comparison to SU collapse is right, we are
very close to SHTF moment, or living through it,
the DOW will trade on par with gold (below 5 in
gold terms) this decade, there will be riots and
significant political uncertainty and redistribution
of wealth (opportunity). The country's economy needs to be
restructured. This will accomplish the process, but
there will be ample opportunity for the process to
run amok.
