Crash Course: Chapter 14 - Assets & Demographics by Chris Martenson

Chapter 14 (Assets & Demographics): Having examined our nations current, never-before-seen level of debt, as well as our failure to save, we now move on to look at our assets. Key Concept 8 is introduced, that debts are fixed, but assets are variable, sometimes gaining and sometimes losing. Dr. Martenson examines Americas assets, especially in light of our current demographic situation. The effect of the baby boomer generation is specifically considered, with the conclusion that the next 20 years are going to be completely unlike the last twenty years.

People, do not worry. This story is going on in Serbia for last 40 years, and we are still alive, smiled and happy. No big deal. You just will not be able to spend so much money on totally stupid and unnecessary things. If you think you have a problem, take a look at the rest of the earth population (5 billions).

Do you really trust any report from the federal reserve? lmao silly goose

3:50 Is there any significance to your use of the word "but" when comparing debts and assets?

Assets=Things that put money in your pocket.

Liabilities= Things that take money out of your pocket.

Pretty simple. You want more money? Then buy things that put money in your pocket.

@DRationalOne I think maybe I've becoming indifferent and apathetic rather than ok about it. I am however not content with being a slave nor did I even suggest that, merely that we were given an opportunity to come to terms with the imperfections of life we will have to face. Perhaps I would also take to arms and riot with the rest of the population but riots won't solve anything, with an aging population the only immediately obvious remedy is mass euthanasia of the elderly.

@Standuble Easier to accept? You should be enraged! Via Social Security and Medicare, the Boomers (the wealthiest demographic) will take away from general society vastly more money than they ever put in and there will be none for you, meaning, as you said, you will work until you die. You're o.k. with that? with being a slave? I guess the U.S. population should hope everyone under 45 years old or so thinks the same as you otherwise there will be blood running in the streets as I believe.

Don't worry about anything, the "Meek shall Inherit the Earth" The rest will self emplode.. Live off the grid, stop feeding the beast, and stock up onFood, Water and AMMO, the New World Currency.

I'm 23 and I don't know much admittedly about assets, and the components of bankruptcy outside of these videos. But I am glad we were told in school about the coming pension crisis and the inability to be able to support an aging population. Knowing when you're a kid you're going to work until you're dead makes it easier to accept when you become an adult.

has anyone else noticed the "hockey stick" pattern if clip times is charted against clip number for this crash course? if charted you will notice the exponential growth concept featured throughout this series o.O

@ivanjovovic Serbia isn't fighting wars overseas and doesn't have the world's reserve currency status. Apples and Oranges.
