Is this really happening? And the 10-80-10 rule.

(This is a rehash of earlier comments.) I touched on this in the comment section of the Greece post. It seems like everything the government is doing is for the purpose of destroying what is left of our capitalist economy. What they are doing makes no sense if you look at it from the standpoint of promoting economic prosperity. The Cloward-Piven strategy is "The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The 'Cloward-Piven' Strategy seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse." This collapse that their plan would bring about would be 'a profound financial and political crisis' that would unleash 'powerful forces ... for major economic reform at the national level.'" If these two people were just crazy kooks, this would not really mean much. But these people have been influential to some of our leaders and they are connected to our President. The link above is interesting. How will people react to this crises? This can't really be happening.

Is this plan coming to fruition?

President Obama's fiscal 2011 budget will generate nearly $10 trillion in cumulative budget deficits over the next 10 years, $1.2 trillion more than the administration projected, and raise the federal debt to 90 percent of the nation's economic output by 2020,[...]That figure would equal 90 percent of the estimated gross domestic product in 2020, up from 40 percent at the end of fiscal 2008. By comparison, America's debt-to-GDP ratio peaked at 109 percent at the end of World War II, while the ratio for economically troubled Greece hit 115 percent last year.[...]The CBO and the administration expect the deficit for fiscal 2010, which ends Sept. 30, to approximate $1.5 trillion and exceed 10 percent of GDP, the first time that threshold will have been reached since World War II.[...]But they generally agree that budget deficits should proceed along a consistent, downward path as the expansion matures. Most economists, therefore, fear the prospect of rising deficits in the latter part of this decade, long after steady economic growth has returned and unemployment has plunged. [...]For the 2016-20 period, CBO estimates that deficits will average more than 5 percent of GDP, even while assuming the economy will be near full employment, with an average jobless rate of 5 percent during that same five-year period.[...]Deficits in the, let's say, 5 percent of GDP range would lead to rising debt-to-GDP ratios in a manner that would ultimately not be sustainable,'

This is only one of several reports. This basically says that there will be a debt-driven crises within the decade unless major changes are made.

I rented out a book from the library called The Survivors Club. (I heard about it from Glenn Beck.) It is interesting because it points out how various people react to crises. Do you have what it takes to survive a crises? How does 10-80-10 fit into this? We are going through a period of great change now and within our lifetime their will be an even greater change that will be more pronounced. How will people react to this? According to the book, during crises such as planes crashing, ships sinking at sea, or any great period of change from the status quo in our daily lives(this is coming our way) 10% of the people do the correct thing, 80% percent just turn into statues and freeze up and are in denial about what is happening, and 10% do the wrong thing. There is great change occurring now and most people are unaware of it or they are in denial. They are lost in the sauce and will be sweep away by the coming tide, all while humming along to the daily beat of life. About this reaction John Leach states, "Denial and inactivity prepare people well for the roles of victim and corpse." Are you the 80% that will be in denial and freeze up? Do you know what kind of change is coming our way? Do you really even care? How will you react to the coming period of great change or crises?
