4. I fully expect the cooking to start by the end of the year, or January at the latest

And the damage will be enormous. When unemployment is really 10%, but the BLS reports 2% with 500,000 new jobs created every month, it will absolutely devastate working families.

And we're seriously looking at stagflation. This will be worse than Bush's 2008 disaster and it's all completely self inflicted. I've been screaming for 7 months how businesses cannot grow under this much uncertainty. And here we have it, layoffs are ongoing, hiring has slowed to nothing. And prices will start to rise even more soon too.

So next year, millions of families will be out of work which the BLS cooked numbers tell everyone everything is great so the triggers to protect working families in tough times never get tripped. Food banks will be empty. Unemployment benefits will be brief and small. Even your state government has triggers to help people that key off the BLS numbers.

Protect yourself and your family now. Save save save. Can food. Learn to cut expenses. Now is the time to act to protect yourself.
