That , creating massive amounts of fiat would ignite the crash .
It didn’t , and my efforts to preserve my status as more or less neutral in maintaining a reasonable lifestyle via tried and true G&S was the safe path .
Instead , I was decimated financially .
But , crazy as it seems , I still believe there will be a reckoning .For the sake of my children and grandchildren I hope the process will be the gradual scenario you mention . That would be best for most of the people of this Earth . I would just hope that those responsible for creating the mess would be brought to justice , but that is highly unlikely in my lifetime . We have seen a lot of bluster in Congressional hearings , but who is doing time for treason in high places ? No one .
Instead we see young men in the prime of life doing time in military prisons for protecting their lives when our leaders sent them into harm’s way far from home .
