5. Anyone who alleges that our economy is improving

is selling a lie. A global collapse is almost a certainty (depending on how successfully the corporate megalomaniacs can continue to keep this house of cards from blowing apart).

I am 58 years old and I am bankrupt. Because of a medical emergency, I now owe more money than I'll ever be able to accumulate. After six years of un- or under-employment, I have finally found a job, and it pays a pittance. I tell my friends I am the poorest I've ever been, but I'm the happiest (I've managed to relocate to a very rural area, and have started a bio-intensive garden).

As I've said before: bankers always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always -- have I said always enough? -- ALWAYS get their money.

But, not from me. And not from the millions of others of us who cannot find jobs, and cannot even feed ourselves.
