2. "America's Financial Demise - Approaching the Point of No Return"
According to Ethan Pope, the mismanagement of our nation's abundance of wealth is incomprehensible, intolerable, imprudent, reckless, corrupt, foolish, destructive, destabilizing, and unacceptable. And unless our Congressional leaders make radical changes to bring federal spending under control, it will soon become mathematically impossible for our nation to avoid bankruptcy. In this latest book by Ethan, the author encourages us to wake up and rise as a new generation of patriots - financial patriots.
Ethan Pope is a nationally known financial author, speaker, radio commentator, and founder of the Financial Patriots movement. Following the seventeen exhibits of the current and projected fiscal condition of the United States, eight potential conclusions / consequences are highlighted:
- Excessive Increases in taxes for all Americans and businesses.
- Radical changes in Social Security and Medicare.
- Unprecedented unemployment and economic depression
- Riots on a national scale
- Financial Armageddon when China, other nations and investors stop buying our debt
- Hyperinflation
- The dollar crashes and a financial tsunami comes ashore
- America goes bankrupt
