Will The US Economy Sink Into Depression?
I am reposting this as a separate thread. The following dream was originally sent to me by a friend (who goes by talons here), in October of last year. It appears to be getting increasingly relevant now, as the dollar is weakening against nearly all other currencies in light of the ongoing tariff wars. My interpretation at the time was that the dollar was what was keeping the US economy from sinking, but that a flood was on its way and would likely reach us eventually. Unfortunately the dollar is now taking a beating, hence why I thought I should repost this material as it is something that bears watching. First the dream in its entirety.
Andrew Jackson Dream
I was in long room and I was up close to a wall with other people close to the wall on the other side of the door about 15 feet from the door. The room had a tile floor and water was leaking under the door from outside and running down the grout lines of the tile mostly away from me toward the other people. I told the other people who were not noticing the water coming in to look at what was happening, and the water was coming in fairly fast as some of the tiles were now completely covered. So as we went to check and see what we could do about the leak at the door, there was an eagle standing right in front of and facing the door. The eagle was like it had been molded into a 2X2 flat square plaque and flattened out, wings kind of spread like this stamp but a live eagle.
The eagle's name was "Jackson," which was given to me in the dream when I saw President Andrew Jackson like he appears on $20 bill. I went and picked up Jackson and moved him away from the door, but he walked right back to his post about a foot away from the door. The only part of the eagle that was animate was his feet to walk with, and his eyes and eyebrows (you could read his expressions). He was not happy when I moved him away from the door, and it pained him to have walk back to his position facing it. He felt like a real eagle would feel when I picked him up and moved him. We were going to open the door, but Jackson walked back over and did not allow us to open the door. That was when we laughed, and I said we needed to trade Jackson in at the bank for a newer eagle, since he was looking kind of worn. But he was still standing in his spot at the door.

Interpretation:
The phrase "having your back against the wall" describes a situation where someone is in a difficult or desperate position and has limited options. This kinda describes the situation the United States was in as of late 2024. Much of American industry had long been shipped off, but what was keeping the US alive was the fact that the dollar was still the world's base currency. This was the meaning of "Jackson," who was still holding the flood waters back. Unfortunately (and I am not anti-Trump, as I have stipulated in other threads), the attempts of the new administration to rebuild American industry may have been well intended, but they are now clearly coming at the expense of the dollar, and this does not bode well for the US economy going forward. For those who do not know American history, Andrew Jackson fought with the banks in defense of the US economy being taken advantage of, and it appears that fight could be lost now if things keep going on their current trajectory. Getting delivered from our debt to the IMF and World Bank may soon be an impossibility if we do not. All that will be left is a slow decline into recession and eventually depression, due to indebtedness the US simply cannot get out of.
Will the administration's gamble pay off? One hopes it will. But the current slide in the dollar over the last several months especially paints a different picture.

But the amount of US debt to GDP was around 35% in the 70s. Now US debt to GDP is close to 125% and climbing. That means that four times as much is going just to service the debt now, which creates a different situation, and deeper hole to climb out of.
