About This Course

One of our first shows. produced in early 2020, has become one of our most popular. We warn about threats and examine ways to prepare for them, like the imminent bankruptcies of Social Security and Medicare.

Some of these threats have been elevated to clear and present dangers. These are discussed in our recent (2022) show on “Dangers.”

Other threats are still of concern, and likely to harm in this decade.

Forewarned is forearmed
