Just watching this now, it's quite interesting and unnerving too. Would like some factual information on our own situation though.

That was bloody terrifying, some of those graphs actually made my jaw drop and froze me in disbelief.

How come no one appears to be paying it any attention?

Those projections for 2040 yikes

I noticed how last year the US was dead last in respect of it's trade deficit.
Shortly followed by the UK!

Why would anything change though? I mean the kids have been told to save their hard earned, and their parents are digging their graves. They shall dig the graves of their children too I would think.

The real question is... What will get them out of the hole. That's always been the big question.

The options.

Pharms.
GM Foods.
Biofuels.

The gene revolution is here!

I'm not sure it's a good thing, but it's the obvious candidate.

Twenty years from now the kids will be able to live forever. Why will they bother worrying about debt? You can always pay tomorrow. Twenty years from then only the very rich will avoid sterilisation at birth for population control.

A film made by the former comptroller of the US Government Accountability Office is "media bullst"? I suppose it was bullst when he was giving the same warning two years ago, before everyone was hyped up over the credit crunch?

Don't tell me, it's all part of the conspiracy and the truth is available at Davidicke.com if only I'd open my mind to it?

You say that as if you hope it happens. Either way, they have too much to lose to "do their stuff".
