Dismal Economic Numbers Exposing America’s Financial Freefall

Housing Market: The Worst It’s Ever Been Let’s start with the foundation of the American Dream—homeownership. Pending home sales have now plunged to their lowest level ever recorded. That’s right, not just in the last recession, not just during the pandemic lockdowns, but ever. High mortgage rates and inflated home prices have effectively frozen the market, leaving potential buyers locked out and sellers unable to move. The National Association of Realtors, which has been tracking this data since 2001, has never seen anything this bad. The government and the Fed would love for you to believe this is some kind of cyclical downturn, a temporary bump in the road. But we know better. This is a direct result of decades of economic malpractice. The Federal Reserve artificially suppressed interest rates for years, creating a massive housing bubble. Government policies flooded the market with easy money, driving home prices to unsustainable levels. Now, after inflation spun out of control, the Fed is slamming on the brakes with interest rate hikes, sending mortgage rates through the roof and choking the life out of the market. This is the classic boom-and-bust cycle, orchestrated not by free markets but by a central banking system that has lost all credibility. They inflate the bubble, then pop it, leaving everyday Americans to pick up the pieces. Jobs: The “Strong Labor Market” Lie Is Unraveling For months, we’ve been force-fed the lie that America’s job market is resilient. Yet just last week, unemployment claims skyrocketed far beyond expectations. 242,000 new jobless claims in a single week, the highest level in months. Layoffs are sweeping the nation, from Wall Street to Main Street, and they’re not slowing down anytime soon. Just look at what’s happening in Washington, D.C., where new unemployment claims surged 26% in a single week. Why? Because federal layoffs are ramping up, and when the bloated government starts shedding jobs, you know the private sector has been suffering for much longer. But let’s step back—this isn’t just a blip on the radar. It’s part of a long-term economic decline that’s been accelerating under a government that seems determined to sabotage its own economy. Inflation: The Hidden Tax That’s Devouring America Here’s another whopper they’ve been trying to sell you: inflation was cooling down. Well, reality just smacked that fantasy in the face—hard. Prices are surging again, and it’s hitting everything—from groceries to housing to energy. Beef prices? Up 5.5% in just one month. Egg prices? So high that people are stealing them and joking about needing a loan to afford breakfast. Gas prices? Rising steadily, thanks to reckless government policies and deliberate supply restrictions. The excuses keep changing—supply chain disruptions, corporate greed, the war in Ukraine. But the real culprit has been hiding in plain sight: the Federal Reserve and their disastrous monetary policies. Printing trillions of dollars out of thin air, flooding the market with devalued currency, and then acting shocked when prices skyrocket? Give me a break. And now, with new tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China set to take effect, things are about to get even worse. Tariffs are a tax on consumers, period. If you thought inflation was bad now, just wait until these price hikes ripple through the economy. The Mass Exodus of Businesses: Who Will Be Left Standing? America was built on industry, but today, businesses are dropping like flies. The latest casualty? The only factory in Liberty, New York—a Frito Lay plant that has employed hundreds of locals for nearly 30 years. It’s shutting down, leaving 287 workers jobless and an entire community reeling. This story is playing out in towns across America. Factories are closing. Small businesses are going under. Even corporate giants are laying off workers en masse. Meanwhile, what is Washington doing? Throwing more taxpayer money at bloated social programs, green energy boondoggles, and foreign wars. Instead of incentivizing growth and job creation, they’re strangling businesses with higher taxes, endless regulations, and an economic climate so uncertain that even the most resilient companies can’t survive. The Great Denial: America Is Sleepwalking Into Economic Ruin Some people still want to believe that everything is fine. That this is just a “temporary downturn.” That a “soft landing” is right around the corner. Are you buying that? Because everywhere you look, you can see the truth: Stores are shutting down. Restaurants are going out of business. Factories are closing their doors. Household debt is skyrocketing. Families are falling apart under the pressure of inflation and job losses. This is not a recession—it’s an economic collapse in slow motion. The Final Warning: Prepare for Impact We are watching the disintegration of the American economy in real-time, and yet the mainstream media still refuses to acknowledge reality. They want you distracted. They want you compliant. They want you to believe that this is all normal. But history tells us otherwise. The warning signs are all there. The Great Depression began with a banking crisis and a collapse in consumer confidence. Sound familiar? The 1970s stagflation era saw soaring inflation, weak growth, and mass layoffs. We’re already there. The 2008 financial crisis? That was just a warm-up compared to what’s coming. For those paying attention, the message is clear: prepare. Protect your assets. Secure your family’s future. Because the system isn’t going to save you—it’s the reason you’re in this mess to begin with. The avalanche has already begun. The only question is: are you ready?
