Perhaps my fellow members can shed some light on an issue that I just am not understanding.....Here we go.
I just explained to my husband that I am not really sure how we, the US, is spending so much money...literally trillions upon trillions in the red, every day. We are printing more and more money and devaluing our dollar. Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, which I am going to, but how can the bottom NOT drop out? How can we NOT go into 3rd world status? How can we not see the end of the US as we know it morph into complete pandemonium? I want to be wrong but don't think I am.
I am a well educated women with a masters and countless other degrees. I look, I research, I ask a million questions before I in fact form an opinion. But every where I look, everything I read, every statistic, number, and graph pain strickenly leads me to the inevitable fact that we are in (or will be soon) an Economic Depression.
I posed the question to my husband who became irritated, yet again, with my constant questioning. Now he has a good point and I would like to know how you all feel about it. He feels the United States is too big to fail, that we are not like other poorer nations in the world. Furthermore he strongly feels that the United States agriculture would not allow us to go into a depression. That irregardless about what cars and trucks the US sells / makes we are still the biggest exporter of food in the entire world. And lets face it everyone needs food. So the farmers would save the nation, essentially. This alone would keep us from becoming a nation suppressed by an economic depression. Sounds pretty good to me but I still am unconvinced that food alone will save the states. I would love your opinion! Any food for thought?????
