We don’t mean to scare you – well, actually we do. The words above were spoken by President Obama at a recent press conference. Ouch. Does that mean the U.S. economy is a car with a bone dry gasoline tank still rolling slightly from 233 years of inertia?

Maybe.

A better analogy might be the economy is a car with a bone dry gasoline tank still rolling slightly from 233 years of inertia heading off a cliff! What can we, as law-abiding citizens, expect when our government continues to bankrupt itself and devalue our currency? Seriously. The federal government is a Ponzi Scheme that makes Bernie Madoff look like a piker.

Here’s a glimpse into the future after the dollar collapses.

1. An explosion in prices as Americans scramble to buy basic necessities.

2. Sparse grocery shelves and long gas lines.

3. Failed businesses and a breakdown in commerce as long term transactions vanish due to worthless currency.

4. Rampant crime and unemployment.

5. Disappearing government services.

Sound like fun? What can you do to protect your wealth? The simple answer is to own income producing property. It’s the only investment liable to have any value when the fiat currency collapses. The time to act is now. There may still be time before the greenback dies as the major player on the global currency market. But there may be less time than you think. Wall Street is already coming apart at the seams from greed and incompetence. Make it a point to explore history’s best bet when it comes to investing.
