Read somewhere that average lifespan of a country in power is 200 years and we are already past that. Could 234 represent the number of years the USA exists as we know it before it falls and/or is taken over? I could see that happening over the next year and a half and that's about how long it would take to realistically complete if necessary events start between now and June/July.
 
Any thoughts out there that the mysterious bailout money is going to fill the purses of the elite to survive the hard times coming? I have the feeling like I used to have when the school year ends. Everyone gets antsy and starts wrapping up things ahead of time -- knowing the end is near. Also called senioritis for those senior students about to graduate high school. An intense "hurry up and wait" waiting feeling for the soon inevitable.
 
Just a thought.
