US Crumbling While Kerry Seeks $1 Billion Loan For Ukraine

By Anne Trimble


Possibly, in the good old days, it might have been commendable that Secretary of State John Kerry propose a $1 billion loan guarantee for the Ukraine. Besides collaborating with the International Monetary Fund as well as international organizations to arrange the loan, the current administration is thinking of providing some direct assistance to the Ukraine.

The plain fact is that the United States itself might quickly end up resembling two countries that are in the depths of an economic doldrum, Spain and Greece. We are no longer an abundant country, overflowing with wealth and unlimited resources, but instead have become a country on the edge of a monetary wreck. With a $16 trillion dollar financial obligation, we need to obtain money from China and other countries just to keep the lights on.

If the national debt balloons to $21 trillion, US credit rating will experience a downgrade. Despite this looming disaster, Kerry wants to save the Ukraine. Is it too difficult to think of spending the cash placing folks back to work here in the United States? Our rising unemployment is possibly two times the 8.2 percent put out by official statisticians.

As far back as 2006, top economists like Wiedemer were talking about the looming collapse of the U.S. housing market, a decline in the equity markets, and a fall in consumer spending because of rising private debt. Today, much of what was predicted back then is showing up through some alarming trends-high unemployment, a plunging stock market, and a spiking annual inflation rate.

Let's face it--Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and also former Chairman Alan Greenspan, left with the task of damage control, have done the reverse. And while the crisis they crafted by recklessly printing money proceeds unrelentingly, Kerry has actually explored the Ukraine, guaranteed aid, and cautioned Putin's military to stand down.

Now, if that's not ridiculous enough, here's one more twist to the story. While the Obama administration is hunkering down with Congress to supply a $1 billion financing guarantee to protect that country from minimized energy subsidies, Russia will probably counter that initiative by raising gas rates. Now get this-because the Russians are the majority holders of Ukrainian financial obligations, the money from the U.S. will wind up in Russian banks.

It resembles the Titanic's captain and staff playing Texas Hold'em while the ship is heading straight for an iceberg. We have been talking about investing in your future for a long time now by getting God's money -- precious metals like Gold and Silver-- because it will not be long now before the paper in your wallet will certainly be worthless.
