End of the Empire is about the decline of the United States, how it's already happening, what is likely to happen next, the causes of The Collapse (as history books will refer to it in 50 years) and what to do in order to mitigate the impact to yourself and your family. Coming to grips with the end of an empire and the big changes in your own lifestyle is certainly hard. At first, most people will deny it. "No, this isn't happening. Everything will be fine." And there will be plenty of cheerleader politicians who say that everything is fine, that people are being too negative in pointing out the decline, and even that it's unpatriotic to speak against the US. Yes, we were number one in almost every area just a decade or two ago, but now we're going downhill. One indication of why the misery in the US has steadily increased is that the standard of living has gone down. Many other countries have pulled ahead of the US during the Bush-Obama years. In 1980 the US ranked as the first country in the world, but by 2020 the US had the 12th highest standard of living, and going lower with each passing year. In this book I'll show how the federal and state governments cheat at the statistics to make things look better than they are, some areas where the US has gotten worse over time, how we're still getting worse, and how you can protect yourself from it all.
