Protesters in Ireland have been attempting to storm their parliament, upset over big banks.
The dominoes continue to fall..
How much longer until it reaches the United States?

he already boasted that 2011 would be hyperinflation and 2012 would be economic collapse for the USA. The question is, is he standing by that. Sounds solid to me.

Between 2010-2011. Good memory. 
The pace of events are definitely picking up. Mainstream media doing a very poor job of covering this. They are covering it on the back page as isolated events "over there" instead of giving proper perspective.
This is One global event with many threads tying it all together.

I wouldn't use the word "boasting" and it's definitely not something I relish but yes, that sums up what I forecast pretty well.
Phase II of the global economic crisis has officially begun.
Many people are unaware that the Great Depression also occurred in two stages. This following article explains it pretty well and concisely:
"Many Americans know that the Great Depression was started by the bursting of the giant Wall Street bubble of the 1920's (fueled by the use of bank deposits on speculative gambling, which is why Glass-Steagall was passed) , which in turn caused a run on American banks.
But most Americans don't know that the second leg of the Depression was caused by European defaults."

Oh no, now its 2011... I recall it already being pushed from 2009 to 2010, no? Why is doomsday always right around the corner?
I saw a funny headline today, "Doomsdayers beware, future looks bright and optimistic"

so the real question is, given that the US economy is slated to have another serious problem will the republicans try to run someone on a real economic platform, or will they continue to not try knowing that running the country would be too hard and wait for better economic conditions?

I'm sure somebody predicted the collapse in 2009, and 2008 and 2007, etc. etc.

Being concerned about a few years either way is of little consequence as far as the big picture is concerned.
Perhaps it would be better to ask him how he arrived at his perspective.
I have heard the phrase "sovereign debt crisis" being tossed around lately...

Greece is run by the 'Teat party' which is a country where everyone lives by sucking on the governments teat. I think I am going to move to a Teat Country and suck until it falls apart. Then move on to the next country and repeat.

Well I think predictions for the collapse of this system are more than a few years old. It could happen tomorrow or in a hundred years for all anyone really knows. It's a pretty sure bet that one day it will however. History is pretty plain on that one.

You are referring to historical examples of economic collapses of the past. Id est Roman hyperinflation.
It is surprising that modern society has not learned from the past.
I think revisionist history and phony economics is certainly to blame.
The difference today is that governments are capable of accumulating debt at a far greater pace than the historical examples.
However, they have also come up with some new tricks to prop up failing systems.
Propping things up postpones the inevitable but makes the eventual decline more sudden and sharp.
It is like a patient on life support.
The economy (barring serious changes, like stopping the use of fiduciary media) is a goner and the "physicians" are acting like it has a bad flu.

My opinion won't change anything. History marches on.

Of course our government will take care of us and these ills will never affect us here.
Right.
Right?
There are never any consequences for massive debt.
No never. 
Sleep on, America. And on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on..

America will sleep on and so will the rest of the world. And it's about more than money. It's about who you are and how you feel and if your trip here will really be a happy one.
And it still could take a hundred years before it all falls down. Or more. But if history is any indication we will fall and be just another story for the history book.
These theories of financial doom I have heard almost every year since I was a kid.
