Part 3: Sold The World
Ever since the global economic crisis took hold, people have been looking for a place to park the blame for it. Over-extended homeowners. Greedy bankers. Lackluster regulators. Inept elected officials.

But Bill Kleinknecht has another idea.

He says the roots of this crisis go all the way back to the early 1980s and land at the feet of U.S. President Ronald Reagan. Bill Kleinknecht's new book is, The Man Who Sold The World: Ronald Reagan and the Betrayal of Main Street America. And he was in New York City.

Clearly this is wayyyy to early. I think you can find blame all the way back to pre-historic times when the majority of dinosaurs died out and allowed man to advance to top of the food chain!


News flash, bad things are going to happen to people in life and spending an excessive amount of time looking for someone to blame is one of the least productive avenues you can take. Instead ask yourself how you can be better prepared if it happens again, what steps do you need to take to weather the storm. When you depend on others(governments) to be the ones to protect you then you are most likely setting yourself up for disappointment and devastation.

lmao, I don't even need to bother reading that article.... Ronald Reagan's fault. What a joke.

Granted now almost every industry is hurting, but look back and remember which industries hurt first, collapsed first, got bailed out first and fell on thier faces first.

Usually the dominoe effect can be traced to the first toppling stone.....

Afterwards, look which administration and individuals removed the laws and regulations and made it easier for those initial failing institutions to run themselves into the ground once those regulations were removed.............

However T makes a good point. There is no use pointing fingers... especially at the wrong individuals.

Just build a compound in the woods, get off the grid, stockpile food, water, guns, ammunition, and fuel and watch the world pass you by.
