| 70. What's this "just two years" stuff? We've been headed that way for six years now. |
|
Economic collapses take years to occur, and we're
in the middle of one right now. Our government has
been LYING to us about every major factor of our
economy, and they'll still be lying when you and I
are doing our daily "bug-digging".
Let's be a little less silly: poor people here in the USA
don't dig bugs, they eat from dumpsters.
Ask yourself: are there many MORE, or many FEWER people
eating from dumpsters here than there were six years ago?
And then realize that the USA is ALREADY a third world
country for THEM.
