Guy breaks down the financial collape for a younger audience...

Please move this thread, if you must, for I did not know where to create it.

It's sped up to keep interest and re-enact YouTubes most popular VBloggers, FRED. Where he speds up everything.


Anyways, I think he breaks it down well and its the interest.
He is certainly true about the media keeping it from us.

I think everyone here should see this and fwd it off via email!

I am 14 and understand why the economy is collapsing. Despite what you think teenagers do understand those big "adult words" that are used to explain the situation.

I'm just having trouble understanding the title of this thread. I take it the video is a little clearer?

Fred is crazy........"Everything is OK"!!!!

Now go out there and CONSUME, CONSUME, CONSUME!

The majority is the concern, son.

I'm willing to bet your more informed than your teachers too, but for the most part I think your generation is sufficiently dumbed down. I hope you are doing your part to wake up your fellow teens and knock their NWO issued retardation helmets off.

You're among the few. And it makes me feel a lot better that kids your age are getting it...But it comes as a rather bittersweet comfort, as the adults older than me(I'm 25) are just dumb as hell too.

The more money that is in circulation the faster the economy will rebound.

Herbert Hoover, the president at the beginning of the Great Depression in 1929, cut back on all government spending, told people to stop spending and save, and in general advised the public to hunker down for a storm. The result was less and less gold and money in circulation, and that, of course, deepened the depression. Hoover is not remembered fondly by history. The tent cities that the dispossessed homeless put up were called "Hoovervilles" in his honor.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, the guy who created Social Security, the CCC, the WPA and other big government spending at the height of the depression is remembered well.

Those who do not remember history are doomed to repeat it.

The only problem with that is that back then, there was a limit (ie gold reserves) to the amount of money we could have out at one time. Today we are printing money that is basically imaginary, through treasury auctions. You can't just create more money out of thin air without a sound way of creating the wealth that will sustain it. My head just hurts thinking about what we have done to our economy.
