The New Great Depression | Two Ice Floes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A few years back Peter Schiff opined the Great Depression of the 1930s would look like a Sunday school picnic compared to what is headed our way. Without a doubt the cat is out of the bag. Everyone knows things are not going well. Unfortunately, it seems most people think that fixing the system, changing the politicians, tweaking the rules and the return to honorable ways of yesteryear hold the solution to restoring our idea of a stable and prosperous society.<\/p>\n

The disconnect is easy to perceive when we compare black and white faded photos from the 1930\u2019s of dusty farms, soup lines and children who don\u2019t smile to the modern edgy world images from our cell phones, televisions and computers of how things supposedly are now. We live in a bright and vivid world where descriptions have been meticulously spoon fed to us so we will largely act according to how others might see us and we can feel better about ourselves. This only works until financial or emotional changes crash into our lives such as the Big One roaring towards us all now.<\/p>\n

The New Depression already began and the news blackout is deafening.<\/span>\u00a0Aside from malcontents who insist upon harping on unpleasant subjects and who have no desire to participate in society\u2019s uniform \u201csolutions\u201d, one only has to watch a Sunday football game and it\u2019s commercials to be refreshed in the programming that the American dream indeed lives on. It\u2019s right there in front of us to see with our own eyes and if you are not living that life you are obviously doing something wrong.\u00a0(And obviously this is sarcasm.)<\/em><\/p>\n
