Existential Threats Facing American Economy, Health, IQ, and Education
Here is just a short list of the major – some might say existential – threats we Americans are facing.
They all have the same cause. It’s not hard to figure out. It‘s not because of the alignment of Jupiter and Mars. It’s not because of subversion by space aliens.
They are all caused by Washington and our growing left-wing national ethos.
All of them.
Here’s a rundown.
Our lifespans appear to be growing shorter. “The numbers are shocking.”
Harvard School of Public Health, April 13, 2023 – U.S. life expectancy has declined to 76.4 years, the shortest it’s been in nearly two decades, according to December data from the CDC….
[Dean Michelle Williams] noted that younger people in America are dying at higher rates than their counterparts in other high-income countries and that the U.S. also has among the highest maternal and infant mortality rates among upper-income countries.
American IQs are falling. “The first time ever.”
The New York Post, May 3, 2024 – A report from 2023 revealed the depressing reality — that the average intelligence test score fell from 100 to 98, a dismal, two-point decline after a previously uninterrupted 30-point rise that began in 1905.
American public schools are a national disgrace. “In public education, we reward mediocrity and discourage excellence.”
The Discovery Institute, July 11. 2023 – Detroit Public Schools [are ranked] the worst performing of all 26 large city districts, with just 5 percent of their eighth-grade students rated proficient in reading and only 3 percent in math. What is surprising is the Detroit Public Schools Community District rated 99 percent of Detroit’s teachers as “highly effective” or “effective,”
Teacher[s] cannot be fired for poor performance. Consequently, evaluations have little or no meaning. Not only can teachers not be fired, but incompetent teachers will make more money next year as they gain another year of seniority and an automatic raise.
The American Dollar Is Worth Less Each Year – “Inflation hits 20 percent under Biden.”
The Hill, May 15, 2024 – Inflation under President Biden hit a cumulative 20 percent. The dollar’s value has plummeted under his watch. The Bureau of Labor Statistics also confirmed that the consumer price index is resurgent and growing faster than average wages. Combined with weak GDP growth, this data shows the U.S. economy is reentering stagflation.
You can’t personally do much about most of these problems. Crowded hospital waiting rooms and strained facilities can be your problem in an emergency. You can be victimized by falling IQs and failing schools if underqualified candidates are made airline mechanics, air traffic controllers, or are given a host of other jobs.
And you can’t possibly do much about America’s economic destruction. Millennials are expected to be the first generation to earn less than their parents. Two of three middle-class respondents say their income is falling behind the cost of living.
But you can do something – and do it at once! – about the collapse of the US dollar’s purchasing power.
It’s like emergency medical workers performing triage: They sort out and prioritize the injured. What must they immediately treat? What comes first?
In the case of these existential crises, the first and more urgent problem that can be addressed immediately is to protect yourself from ongoing currency failure. You can insulate yourselves from the criminal mismanagement of the dollar, its quantity and quality, by investing in gold and silver. Both have records of superior performance as money that goes back thousands of years.
