I agree, to a point.
Frankly, I think even if a Reagan was elected in 2012 that we are too far over the precipice to recover without a general meltdown first.
My wife is a (reluctant - Minnesota is not a right to work state) member of SEIU. Believe it or not, she just got a broadcast email from them urging all members to "occupy your state".
I subscribe to Richard Maybury's "Early Warning Report". He has been predicting for years now exactly what is happening. The "occupations" you are seeing are the tip of the iceberg - the beginning of the real rioting that is going to occur when the have-nots decide to take what they want from the haves.
This is exactly what Obama and his handlers want. Right out of Saul Alinsky's manifesto. If there is general rioting, Obama can declare martial law to "gain control" and suspend elections until "normalcy is restored". Then he will be king.
Maybury talks about 2500 years of history. Go to his website and read some of his free stuff, you will see what I mean. www.chaostan.com History will repeat, I really believe that we have let this go on too long to prevent it.
Gold, Silver, and other hard assets will keep those of us who have them above water - if we can fight off the hoards of have-nots that will try to take it away from us...
Ok, enough of that depressing stuff.
