You ain't seen nothing yet......

Going to be a massive geezer problem. WE older citizens are not going to buy very many houses, cars, new pieces of furniture etc.

Ours is the largest generation and when we leave the workforce in 5 or 10 years the crash is inevitable. Most boomers are near broke and need to keep working. Not going to happen. By all counts you can't take 70 million wage earners out of the economy and not replace them.

The economy evaporates. Expect government spending to sky rocket. In the mean time get ready.

After all said and done that's why we have a large military. We will just have to take what we need!
