It's funny how so many people mention the Fed with acceptance.
It's not even a government agency.
It's like oh, by the way, the Fed and the bankers fuck you every day, so just go get some lubricant,
The Fed needs to be audited. Ron Paul has been screaming about this for a long time, it's why the media gave him no attention during the primaries 2008 and 2012 primaries.
Your article makes sense, but what you are missing is people are tired of that paradigm.
We are heading further into the past when people gardened, made their own baby formula, bartered, handcrafted items and fixed them when broken.
We are eliminating junk from China on our shelves and pantries,
We are homeschooling and homesteading.
Big box businesses are losing while more are buying local.
The pendulum is swinging alright, but much further than you think.
