There is no question that there is a reckoning coming for many Americans as the average even homeowner is under incredible pressure here and for those who rent it is ever worse..

Americans are not happy people anymore there is dread and anxiety everywhere..

The Bush Administration prefers to insist how well the economy is but this is a total lie if what they mean is that Americans are doing well, only the very richest are doing well under this corporate oligarchy masquerading as a nation, under G.W. Bush and his greed ridden associates..et al..

Corporate profits are up but actually real dollar earnings for American citizens are and have been stagnant or are down significantly for the last 20 years according to Don Rubin and for sure the last 8-6..

One thing not mentioned here is how during the housing boom which was artificial property values were re-evaluated for tax purposes and once they go up they stay up so even the small bit Bush sent to the working Americans middle and working class was mostly stolen away by corrupt dishonest county and state government..

Those who think America is some how invincible financially or even militarily are in for a big shock as our dual use technology and direct military technology and comparative advantage there of is being sold off and has been sold off so this too will come back to bite us and our friends such as Australia and others..

America is being broken up and sold off for it's assets by our Free Traders, or free traitors we should call them, from Halliburton to ITT, and others who either leave fr Dubai or sell our night vision technology and worse it's gonna make for an interesting decade and more and expect the worse and why buy gold when guns will get you food and safety as you can't eat gold as far as I know..if your really talking survival and not just monetary policies..

It may get that bad..!
