These economic events are far more complex than most realize.
The OP addresses a number of the underlying elements to this economic "Adjustment" which are not being address by other analysis.
The wars in the middle east, and the refugees/invaders streaming across Europe, and being Obama flown into the U.S., do much to squelch consumer confidence.
"King" Obama & Crew, including Hillary, are riding their corrupt and fiscally destructive policies on Propaganda, Political Correctness, and Chutzpah, not popular support or the LAW.
The Economic Power Houses of Wall Street and the Elite will tweak, peak, short sell, and manipulate this upheaval, and while Trillion$ will disappear from the retirement portfolios of the common man, in the end, they will come out somehow ahead.... and they do not CARE that they will hurt hundreds of millions.
The Far-Lefties have been working to create a collapse of the financial system for decades, and they see it coming, as do the rest of U.S., and have positioned Propaganda Agents within grass roots media, to attempt to spin the collapse into a demand for Extreme Changes Toward Far-Left Government.
At the foundation of these economic events, is the culmination of the Obama betrayal transformation, the Cusp of the Cloward-Piven Strategy.
