U.S. Economic Conditions
A study of the U.S. Economy published in 2004. Several of the events we predicted then have already occurred. We feel strongly
that the remainder of the predictions will happen in the coming years, especially given the government policies (Federal Reserve currency
debasement, expansion of government & reckless spending, failed job creation policies, exportation of manufacturing jobs to low wage
countries, ...). The statistics presented in the report are from 2004; presently, these statistics are
much higher/more extreme (for example: Federal Govt Debt, U.S. trade deficit, U.S. budget deficit, personal and corporate bankruptcty stats,
etc....)
