Fox News Poll: 79% Say U.S. Economy Could Collapse. A new report released by the United Nations is publicly calling for the establishment of a world currency and none of the major news networks are even covering it. The state of California is so broke that Arnold Schwarzenegger has ordered California State Controller John Chiang to reduce state worker pay for July to the federal minimum allowed by law -- $7.25 an hour for most state workers. In early 2009, U.S. net national savings as a percentage of GDP went negative for the first time since 1952, and it has continued its downward trend since then. For the first time in U.S. history, more than 40 million Americans are on food stamps, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture projects that number will go up to 43 million Americans in 2011.

These are just a tiny example of the facts facing the U.S. We will discuss them all in tonight's show.
