Mainstream news outlets are already starting to use the phrase “economic collapse” to describe what is going on in some areas of our world right now.
For many Americans this may seem a bit strange, but the truth is that the worldwide economic slowdown that began during the second half of last year is starting to get a lot worse. In this article, we are going to examine evidence of this from South America, Europe, Asia and North America. Once we are done, it should be obvious that there is absolutely no reason to be optimistic about the direction of the global economy right now. The warnings of so many prominent experts are now becoming a reality, and what we have witnessed so far are just the early chapters of a crushing economic crisis that will affect every man, woman and child in the entire world.
Let’s start with Brazil. It has the 7th largest economy on the entire planet, and it is already enduring its worst recession in 25 years. In fact, at the end of last year Goldman Sachs said that what was going on down there was actually a “depression“. You can find some stunning video of the “economic Armageddon” that is taking place in Venezuela right here. I would encourage you to watch that video, because what is happening down there will eventually be happening here.
“We are requiring banks and other financial institutions to know, verify and report who the real people are behind shell corporations that set up accounts at those institutions,” he said. “Only Congress can fully close the loopholes that wealthy individuals and powerful corps take advantage of, often at the expense of middle-class families.” The US economy died when middle class jobs were offshored and when the financial system was deregulated. economy u.s. usa america “United States” Jobs Employment Unemployment “Job Agency” work workforce Resume business entrepreneur wages salary “self employed” tax “tax refund” global world europe japan china wholesale “Made In USA” trends trending infrastructure energy 2016 2017 investment invest reward “minimum wage” UK shopping sale company trade “stock market” gold silver savings “Bank Account” “Offshore Banking” “Middle Class” lifestyle rich wealthy millionaire billionaire elite accounting “elite nwo agenda” panama papers putin obama cameron tax haven total collapse end game gold bullion silver coins dollar collapse false flag fed federal reserve yellen usd
Jobs offshoring benefitted Wall Street, corporate executives, and shareholders, because lower labor and compliance costs resulted in higher profits. These profits flowed through to shareholders in the form of capital gains and to executives in the form of “performance bonuses.” Wall Street benefitted from the bull market generated by higher profits. Alex Jones, David Knight and Michael Snyder discuss the reasons behind the globalist push for moral corruption and what it will lead to.
However, jobs offshoring also offshored US GDP and consumer purchasing power. Despite promises of a “New Economy” and better jobs, the replacement jobs have been increasingly part-time, lowly-paid jobs in domestic services, such as retail clerks, waitresses and bartenders.
The offshoring of US manufacturing and professional service jobs to Asia stopped the growth of consumer demand in the US, decimated the middle class, and left insufficient employment for college graduates to be able to service their student loans. The ladders of upward mobility that had made the United States an “opportunity society” were taken down in the interest of higher short-term profits.
The Federal Reserve’s zero interest rate policy was designed to support the balance sheets of the mega-banks and denied Americans interest income on their savings. This policy decreased the incomes of retirees and forced the elderly to reduce their consumption and/or draw down their savings more rapidly, leaving no safety net for heirs.
Using the smoke and mirrors of under-reported inflation and unemployment, the US government kept alive the appearance of economic recovery. Foreigners fooled by the deception continue to support the US dollar by holding US financial instruments.
