The Great Withdrawal by Craig R. Smith and Lowell Ponte

The Great Withdrawal How the Progressives' 100-Year Debasement of America and the Dollar Ends   By Craig R. Smith and Lowell Ponte In 1913 America fell under the spell of an addictive European collectivist ideology called Progressivism that took our nation on a 100-year detour away from the sound money and values of America's framers. In 2013, millions of Americans have begun to snap out of this hypnotic spell. "Today's political and social turmoil are caused by the withdrawal symptoms of ending the Progressive addiction to government dependency," write renowned monetary expert, Craig R. Smith and former think tank futurist, Lowell Ponte in their fourth book, THE GREAT WITHDRAWAL: How the Progressives' 100-Year Debasement of America and the Dollar Ends.  The authors predict that the next election cycle will bring a huge turning point in history and the possible end of Progressive rule. Millions of Americans are now realizing that they've been living in a dream world - an illusion of prosperity conjured with unreal paper money, a stock market addicted to the drug of a trillion stimulus dollars per year, zombie economics and mind-control politics. But Smith and Ponte are happy to report, in this explosive new expose, that Progressives now feel their power slipping away as Americans are withdrawing from a century of hypnotic control. In THE GREAT WITHDRAWAL, you will learn: how the "great withdrawal" could end the 100-year reshaping of America's government, money and values by Progressives; what the coming "withdrawal symptoms" of this change will be like for individuals and American society; who and what Progressives are (just another name for "liberal?"); why Detroit - formerly a proud symbol of Progressive achievement and a worker's paradise dominated by labor unions - is now a bankrupt, crime-ravaged city and the symbol of the failure of Progressive ideas; why much of America will soon be like Detroit if Progressives like Obama expand their power in the 2014 election; whether Americans can break their addiction to easy money and big government goodies and if we can ever go back to the small government days of America's framers; and how American citizens can decentralize and diversify their lives to survive and prosper, whether Progressives keep power in the short run or lose it. In THE GREAT WITHDRAWAL, Smith and Ponte define prudent steps people can take to restore our nation's founding values and protect their families and savings through decentralized technologies and diversification.
