bailouts only work till you run out of ... bail

Sooner or later they run out of bailout funds, or the floor falls out from under the market and they cant keep it going. That's when they bail!

Just look at auto production. Down 25% across the board. That is shocking to me. It is a sure sign of collapse. They cant inflate their way around that. This economy is built on cars and the energy they use. 5 years ago, if I read in the news that auto production was down 25%, yoy, I'd have headed for the hills. And then the Fannie Freddie debacle? Yikes!

But because we're drowing in so much bad news, we dont see the guidestones, or the hallmarks, or those things we know are telltale signals of what's coming. We just have to ignore everything else and make a list of the top 10 worst headlines of the last 2 years. Go over that list and ask yourself if it is the kind of list you'd have read 2 years ago on some random doom/gloom apocalypse prediction website. It's pretty damn close! We're not in WWIII yet, and there hasnt been a major dieoff, yet. But when I look only at the guidestones I know are genuine signals rather than random noise, I get the strong sense that we do seem to be on that path. Regardless, conjecture is moot because we are approaching the top of the hill. I dont think we'll need to wait more than 2 more months to find out...
