We\u2019ve all heard these stories about how the average American couldn\u2019t lay his hands on $1,000 to save his life. His expenses aren\u2019t going away, however, even if his income does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It seems like things have reached a critical mass. And if the economy slows down there are going to be a lot of people losing their homes again. They\u2019ll be unable to pay their credit card bills, their car payments, their student loans, or anything else. They aren\u2019t going to be able to buy anything. They wound up in breadlines in the \u201930s. But today 40 million Americans have SNAP cards to take away the hunger pains and embarrassment of being penniless. There could be 100 million in a few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know this sounds outrageous because right now everything is running fairly smoothly. The standard of living of the average middle-class American has degraded slowly over decades but hasn\u2019t yet totally collapsed. But that\u2019s the way it is a day before a volcano explodes, or a day before an earthquake, or minutes before an avalanche starts coming down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doug Casey on the Year the World Falls Apart Justin\u2019s note:&nbsp;It\u2019s \u201cTotally Incorrect\u201d week here at Casey Research\u2026 We\u2019ve shared Doug Casey\u2019s uncensored insights \u2013 on topics ranging from&nbsp;the climate change hoax&nbsp;to&nbsp;the next 9\/11-type event.
