Nothing lasts forever, but it's definitely going to get worse before it gets better. A lot worse, probably. There are some things we can do about it to help ourselves , including putting away food and other supplies , but our economy is already in a slow collapse. Even if Ron or Rand Paul became President today, there would still be rough times ahead.

Pensions will become worthless. So will paper currencies, not just the dollar. Savings will be wiped out. To quote Ludwig von Mises in Human Action :

Quote
There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved.
Read that last sentence again:
