The capital stock Matus is referring to is American companies' investments in new equipment and software – one of the four main components in GDP – less the depreciation of existing equipment.

That should be no surprise to anyone in light of the fact that the USA and the West in general has exported its manufacturing base to Asia.

I sure wouldn't miss this system of economic enslavement, but it makes me sad to think of how much suffering will take place along the way.

Hopefully there is a peaceable solution to this mess, and people keep their cool should the SHT proverbial F.

Matus told Bloomberg TV that the decline of the U.S. capital stock is a bad sign:
I would say that one of the things that people have generally ignored is that the U.S. capital stock is in decline. This is the first time post-war we've ever seen it. We don't know what the repercussions are because we have nothing in history to look back on and say, "Hey, last time it did this, this is what followed on it."

Well there it is in a nut shell. We are done! With talk of not enough meat to go around, one disaster after another, another possible war that could ultimately start another World War, and the global economy crashing. The US can no longer deny it's fate along with the rest of the world as well. It is obvious by now that the destruction of the middle class globally is under way. They are getting what they want...the Have's and have not's.Many will be able to say I told you so....well so be it. I am writing this as I am staring at my company going from a 30 million a year down to a 3 million a year failure due to this economic meltdown and we have 50 employees. We will be loosing over half of our staff with in weeks here. We have been in business for 25+ years. Sad state of affairs for all of us and our families.

The only way to protect yourself is to get off the grid and don't have anything that someone else wants. Hard to do. I can image people in the US will be fighting for stupid belongings while they face starvation.
