RE: State of the Union: Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
As long as the USD is the world's reserve currency, the digital printing party will continue. As long as other countries give up their fiscal sovereignty to combine with the rest of the continent, the powers that be will push the growing mess farther down the line, until there's nothing that can be done.
Humans have a great capacity for being able to deny the truth, even when truth stares them in the face. We build something we believe to be invincible, and because we believe it to be so, it simply is.
So, the greatest ship the world has ever known will run into the largest iceberg in the history of mankind, with the full knowledge of the captain and crew, who will do nothing about it because they don't believe the iceberg would have the capacity, nor the audacity, to sink the ship.
And so, history, once again, repeats itself. Man the lifeboats. It's time to get off.
Who is this @glenalbrethsen guy? ;) Nice comment!

I know I'm stating the obvious, but anywhere else I'd probably be trivialized, patronized, vilified or institutionalized! It just feels good to say it.
