I beg to differ. My husband was out of work for a week due to sequester, he was one of the lucky ones. some others I know lost their jobs or were out much longer.

Normalcy bias in full glory here…

I would not bet on America ANYMORE (it’s a dead empire – birth in Expectation, life in Glory, dead in Pride… in brief an Empire), neither on China nor on Europe… the indicators are in the red for many big nations supporting the US. We are in a full economic vicious circle.

I would say that in the next years we will enter a “Dark Ages” of some sort, with a Power Vacuum to be filled. Where the next Empire will be born is open to a guess-work. In the mean time, the wisest will simply prepare for the worse, and hoping for the best.

And this is not doom & Gloom, it’s just a simple fact out of a repeating historical pattern. America, as sad as it can be, will go down the pipe as any other powerful Empire before it. Nothing to be surprise about.

The biggest one is that people are now starting to use the word and I expect the media will follow shortly. Once that starts, the self-fulfilling prophecy usually begins to unfold.
While there are technical reasons for a recession, and Dog knows they exist now, the economy runs as much (if not more) by faith then anything else.

There is third possibility: We infinitesimal intellects haven’t got a clue as to the nature of G-d or the shape/purpose/nature of Creation. But in any case, its always safest to do what you can for yourself & not rely on supernatural intervention.

All the indicators would also reflect a decreased addiction to consumerism.

EMPLOYERS pay unemployment insurance. EMPLOYEES do not. At least that’s the way it works here in NC.

The government continues to print money, at a time when there are more dollars in circulation than at any time in history. These dollars are diluting the value of the debt held by foreign governments (i.e. China) that are acutely aware of what is happening. When they decide to dump their U.S. investments (and they will, it’s only when, not if), who will purchase them? The U.S. economy is a house of cards, run by individuals that have no answers to what is coming. When the average Joe watches his savings become worth about 10-15% of what they were a month earlier, when his investments have lost almost all of their value and this happens when he has done NOTHING TO CAUSE IT, violence will follow shortly. The government is arming (somebody, Homeland Security, perhaps) because they understand the rage, justifiably felt by the people, will be turned on the government – as it should be.

Actually, the Federal Reserve is a legal entity and doesn’t do anything. Only people can do something, and then, the money is still printed on machines.
(just want to be correct here. )
