I have been educated by several Substack sites and many others that there are several undeniable statistics that show that the US is in strategic decline economically and demographically. The issues I present here are the biggest and most strategic in terms of our future. I do not exaggerate. The basic epistemology (how do we know?) is valididated by , stark statistics.

Graph 1

This looks like Statistica sourced. I first saw this on Michael Synder’s Substack   –  https://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/ – Great Information

If you even glance at Graph 1, it appear spectacular and it is. Believe your eyes. Do yourself a favor and look again. The US economy is supposed to be driven in a virtuous circle. Consumption (final sales) feeds investment which feeds entrepreneurs which feeds more investment and production. This is what economist call “the Virtuous Circle”.l   Consumption is a necessary step in the chain. It is  reported to be 70%of our GDP. This locks up the flows. The graph is about Total Wealth. Wealth is not a measure for the year, it is a multi-year dynamic accumulation and acts as a compounding driver. The highest levels of government exclusively present  the Stock Markets as the total picture of economic health. This is absurd. The Wealthy live in an isolated sub-culture. They do not want to understand the deterioration in the inability of the  masses to hold on to what they have.  All forms of debt: Corporate, Government, and private (our children and grandchildren’s future) are funded and continue the illusion by debt growth.This is not sustainable as Capitalism. It is explained elsewhere by all the realist who predicted past downturns, that the end is near here in the US and many other nations. There will be inflation, stagflation, and finally collapse.  A new level of liquidity crisis. We will be stuck in deflation.

The effects of Wealth inequality also appears in big money contribution dominating in our election cycles and government administration. Just one example: consider what it did to our handling the Covid Pandemic. “it’s the science” ?  more than 2 dozen US agencies knew that it was from the Wuhan lab immediately. The Lancet, a top level medical science publication, originally stated this. They were persuaded by Fauchi to completely reverse and received millions in subsidies after they did. See any pattern?  I knew it and about how it was gain of function: about cleavage sites, AE2 and all that. It was known in 2 months that it is like a mild flu for children. States like Florida and entire countries like Sweden knew the draconian measures were based on many lies. They had the same outcomes by ignoring those measures.

Pharmaceuticals are the biggest contributor of  corporate donations to election donations. Money? It could not be approved if there was a safe alternative. This was the great distortion. Ivermectin – used and proven like aspirin in the rest of the world, was presented as toxic horse medicine by decree. Lives were lost. There was no real science, only self- serving distortion.  At this point the only stated justification for any government action is “the broad common good”.  In practice, this is a pose.  Our democracy by representation is a does not function under these conditions. This is another effect of The Wealth Gap.

If you think this is dramatic or over-dramatic watch this You Tube video the centers on what Americans think the Wealth Distribution is like. It is 13 years old so it is significantly worse.

Graph 1 and the You Tube was like a slap in the back of my head when i first saw it. It was a deserved slap because we are so dumb. It should do the same for you. It gets worse:

Wait to you hear the bad news:

Graph 2  This looks like Statistica sourced. I first saw this  By 

 

 

Graph 2 is worse in its strategic implications because it shows the long-term future of our country.  Only families provide a future for the United States in the long run.  What the graph shows about family formation shows an alarming problem. The graph only predicts but only the reality behind it is important.  At present, the news analysts have no idea why so many people are voting for socialism. As the reality unfolds, this will drive the worst instincts: it is an emotional driver of detachment, or anger, and a feeling that we should let it all crash. This could work by logical deduction but it has even more effect if it is felt as a growing sense of helplessness even despair.

I am in my 80’s and I knew for decades that the younger generations was getting screwed. They can not  buy a house or some other equivalent. Or, if you are responsible to have children. The social contract that I faced and drove my parents was so much more inviting and reachable. The graph is stark in proving this. The present rate of formation of a household and raising children is 25 % compared to 13% . this is 1/4! No wonder the ambition, drive and dream is not the same. You don’t have to be a sociologist or a demographer to understand the implications.  Analysis comparing age cohorts that assess or compare blame and judgement are nonsense.  Also, to assess logically and  mathematically you should  know that the Reproduction rate has to be 2.1 percent for every couple to keep the population even. This essay is about the U.S.  but it is of note that this is happening all over many countries and in Asia.  I asked co-pilot AI about our reproduction rate.

Co-Pilot: “Short answer: The current U.S. population reproduction rate (NRR) is about 0.78, far below the replacement equilibrium level of 1.0 and consistent with a total fertility rate (TFR) of ~1.63, which is well below the 2.1 children per woman needed for long‑term population stability.”

We are on the way out. Don’t blame me. I am just the messenger. Knowing will not make it any worse. For you: knowing could ledden damage.

How do you feel about top business leaders, our two parties and our media paying no attention to this?
