We Are Being Set Up For Higher Interest Rates, A Major Recession And A Giant Stock Market Crash

• “Obama Set Up the Next President For a Major Recession”… And A Giant Crash Is Coming

  Editor’s Comment: The past many months have carried a lot of noise about the coming crash, about a tipping point that may be fast approaching. The economics are simply giving way, and they can’t hold the illusion forever.
