Here is a great video that explains in detail what a debt crisis is, and what the United States has been doing with debt the last 20-30 years. Shocking, no doubt to realize the the so called “wealthiest” nation on earth borrowed all its money and now cannot pay it back.
About a year ago, I listened in its entirety the book “Third World America” by Arianna Huffington and was amazed at how she was able to describe in details the problems the United States was facing and will face in the foreseeable future.
Russian economic researchers has found that the richest slice of Russian society has doubled its wealth in the past 20 years, while almost two-thirds of the population is no better off and the poor are barely half as wealthy as they were when the Soviet Union fell, according to the research.

If you ask me looking at the jobs numbers and the headlines about layoffs along with lots of companies now not meeting their numbers and having negative forward guidance, it looks like we are heading into a big recession.
While the United States government lies about their inflation numbers and creates inflation around the world by printing more U.S dollars, Canadian food prices have been rising at the fastest rate in two years. Many experts already know there is food inflation across the world and now it has been affecting Canadian consumers.
Statistics Canada figures showed that food prices rose 4.3 per cent in June from a year ago, . That’s the highest since July, 2009, and a tick upwards from the 3.9-per-cent pace in May.
The music is a little creepy, but there is a lot of solid evidence that points to the collapse will come for the United States and global depression. It can come in 3 to 5 years, exactly when is not know, these issues which has been kicked down the road always takes time to work itself out, but when it does it hits fast.
With the current economic situation in the United States which has somewhat spilled over into Canada, it would seem that most Canadian’s that are close to retirement are destined to work well into old age because they have not saved enough or are burdened heavily by debt.
A Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce poll this week showed that only half of Canadian Boomers aged 45 to 64 have some type of regular savings programs in place. And a TD Waterhouse survey found 31% of retirees aged 55 to 70 are spending more in retirement than expected.
As this video shows, the previous U.S Government reports that the economy is growing and that a recovery was under way. What a crock of crap from the U.S Government.
In reality statistics has been revised downward, and earlier this year the U.S economy did not grow at all, and recently only grew 1.3%.
Watch the FOX Business News video:

All this crap in the media about the American debt limit is political posturing. The stupid American politicians are just putting on a show, they already know that by the August 2nd deadline they will raise the debt limit to 15 Trillion. Apparently they have pushed the U.S debt limit higher and higher over 40 times in the past.
The economy slowed down earlier this summer across the United States still high unemployment and weak home sales plus a slowdown in manufacturing.
A survey by the Federal Reserve, released Wednesday found that consumers are not spending as much and slow job growth along with lending restrictions hampering growth into the second half of the year. This is the worst statistics this year.
