They will blame the rich and the idiots will cheer - get them. What will happen when there is no more wealth to hunt? We end up with a communist state by default - no wealth, just career politicians who blame everyone but themselves.
The repeal of Glass Steagall was the final straw that broke the back of the world economy. That was the single worst act that could have ever been done and we are now paying the price in spades. The collapse from 2007 has wiped out even the liquidity of the markets. The second worst act was the creation of the euro when the real goal was the federalization of Europe from the outset. That undermined the entire European banking system and has led to a serious undermining of the entire global economy.
The solutions from politics will always be the same - grab more power. We are in a downward spiral of liberty and how far we go down this path to the future will be determined by the people and if they at least wise up and see this is not class warfare, it is the people against government. This is why I say career politicians are dangerous for they can be bought way too easily as Clinton was to open the flood gates for the bankers

Who believes what this guy says....he is a little cottage industry of "woe is us" and the world is coming to an end economically....for those tinhats who believe in the NWO and such, I guess he makes perfect sense. No "civil unrest" in my area...and nothing in today's paper about it anywhere in the US. Where is it rising? Now I know that there are those fringe folks who believe in this tripe....but the great majority of folks just laugh at the absurdity of it all....loons are everywhere, sadly. But if you believe in the "police state".....what can I say[;)]
Keep the lid on hey Gary?
Obama blames The Republicans while Republicans blame the Democrats while both get wealthy selling out Americans with Free trade and a massive debt with a colossal trade imbalance because American's don't make anything over here! It's a travesty wake up! The bomb is ticking and when they choose to bring the fox into the hen house well you get the picture!

For almost the entire history of the Republic, public and especially foreign debts had to be settled, ultimately, mostly in gold, which meant that borrowing was a burden. In the late 19th century, the need to borrow was obviated by a trade surplus. And until well into the 1960s we continued to live (in part) on the gold hoard built up during two World Wars. That was, for presidents and economists, a source of worry. But the situation changed in 1971, when Richard Nixon cut the link between the dollar and gold. The world ever since has been quite different-but exactly how remains, for many people, poorly understood.
The 1970s saw the dollar decline, but beginning in 1979, Fed Chairman Paul Volcker and high interest rates put an end to that. Since the early 1980s, the dollar-unbacked by gold or anything else-has been the world's most widely held reserve asset.
This remarkable arrangement has seen the central banks of the great exporting powers accumulate vast stores of U.S. Treasury bonds and bills-basically bank accounts on which they never draw. In exchange, they send fabulous quantities of real goods, materials and services to be consumed in the U.S. This dynamic has become a foundation of our living standard, and a debt that we service, without inflation, at the world's lowest interest rates. To create that debt-liability on our books, but desired assets to everyone else-as a matter of economics and accounting we must, most of the time, run a deficit here at home.
The "dollar standard" is not something the United States entirely controls. It stems in part from the world's geography of oil, and in part from other people's actions, including the growth of advanced industries in Japan and Korea and a vast expansion of consumer manufacturing in China. Why these countries ship us goods for money-never demanding goods in return-is for them to explain. They may change, but so far they haven't. And so long as they don't, a U.S. trade deficit, and hence, usually, a budget deficit, are consequences we cannot escape.
Immorality did not kill the American Fiscal Tradition. Bush didn't kill it. Globalization and the God Almighty Dollar did.
Civil unrest is more along the Watts riots only more than black folk burning out themselves would be involved.
Could the current situation be exactly the method desired to achieve civil unrest?
If Republicans take control of the Senate and retain control of the House what exactly could they DO?
The community Disorganizer POtuS still has the veto. Congresses extreme right wing ideology (driven by the TEA Party) will be blamed for every attempt to bail this sinking ship as completely ........(insert your ...ism here) and provide the excuse for further evading the Constitution by the administration.
The voters may send Republicans to congress to stop or solve this problem, but they can't. They will only be blamed for the situation by even attempting to address it. They will FAIL, then what in 2016?

There will be BIG shift in Congress in November. But I can't see any possibility of a veto override possibility. It would require the Democrats to lose all 21 seats (9 incumbents at this time running) and incumbents win 90% of the time.
I am afraid the when congress makes life miserable for the POtuS, he will make it even more miserable for us. Thus the civil unrest.
The House has already passed one of what I think would be a major step in fixing the problem by passing bill('s) that ends Base Line Budgeting. It never saw daylight in the Senate. If it had and even passed what chance would it have had to be signed. VETO, it would cut school lunches, schools will be closed, children will starve, minorities and single moms hardest hit, shifting the tax burden onto the poor, etc, etc, etc from every taking head the administration can find and their accomplices in the media.

casper1947....I think what you are missing is how unpopular this POTUS is out in the heartland. He never had support from REP but what has surprised me is how unpop he is with Independents and many DEM's who are not "progressive" as he is. The DEM's are going to get smashed in Nov and REP are going to take over the Senate and then make his life miserable for his last two years IMO. We might even have enough votes in the Senate to override any veto that he might employ. And then in 2016 if we as conservatives can link arms, we can get back the POTUS and with the two houses of Congress can start to pass and sign legislation to get this lousy economy back on track. But if we keep fighting among ourselves, an DEM like Hillary is going to waltz into the White House as BO did in his two elections when many conservatives either voted for absurd, third party, no hope candidate or stayed home pouting about McCain and Romney. If we are smart we can do this and get the $17T and counting defict back under control with an economic turnaround....at least that is my hope!!
When the republicans and the conservatives link arm how will it be diffferent than when the republicans controlled the house, the senate and the POTUS?
Oh, that's right, it won't. So you can't wait for government to get bigger, spending to continue to be out of control, and individual liberties to be stomped on and are lobbying for it to happen? Of course it is already happening, there is just a different crowd doing it.
Carry on.
