Never
before has this great country been as imperiled as it is today. Not even WW-2
was as big a threat to America as the problems we face now. The way we react
to the challenges, both internal and external, will determine our future as citizens,
and as investors.
No single problem we must deal with is
insurmountable. We can find a solution to the financial crisis and its ruinous
costs. Medicare, Social Security, welfare, and other under-funded obligations
are also solvable problems.
We can even handle increasing
competition from China, high energy prices, soaring healthcare costs, the falling
dollar, poor job and wage growth, our ineffectual public education system, the
collapsing housing bubble, the credit crisis, the plunging stock market, and a
possible depression.
I'm also confident we can deal with America's
serious social problems, including our army of angry youths, our population's
rising incivility and diminished civic spirit, and the demand for entitlements.
I think we can even reenergize our discouraged population that believes tomorrow
will be worse than today.
As tough as these problems
are, none of them are beyond fixing. However, we are getting them all at once
- and their combined weight is overwhelming our resources.
America
is starting several years of disruption that will change our economy, and our
culture in ways most people can't imagine. The turmoil will have the biggest
impact on the lives and finances of people who don't know what's coming, and what
to do about it.
As the greatest economic bubble in history
deflates, we can also expect a dangerous public backlash that has been building
up for years. Therefore, providing for your personal safety is becoming just as
important as protecting your assets.
I'm struck by the parallels
between our situation today and similar periods in the past. In each case a
few people saw what was coming while there was still time to protect themselves
and turn the events to their advantage. That's true again now.
The
first step is to accept what we already know in our heart of hearts: much of
what is happening in America and the world is unsustainable. Big changes and
opportunities are upon us. My guess is that you have already come to this conclusion.
Recognizing
today's challenges is giving my subscribers a big head start over the masses who
are waiting for the government to fix everything. As is always true during disruptive
periods, people who think and act independently can prosper while others see their
lives and finances turned upside down by events they didn't see coming.
Unlike
most Americans, my subscribers understand the critical problems our country
faces, and what the consequences are likely to be. All of us are taking steps
to protect our lives and finances from the threats that are already developing.
We are also positioning ourselves to benefit from the events that none of us can
change. We refuse to be butterflies in the wind. We are creating our own futures
for ourselves and our families.
There is still time to prepare
for life in what I call The New America. I hope you will join our group of
independent thinkers who are determined to remain safe and prosperous during the
difficult period that is just getting underway.
Best wishes,
Jim Powell
