TIAA-CREF: that's the retirement fund I belong to and I'm crying right now. There's nothing there after 40 years of teaching and I'm rapidly falling out of the middle class.

I mean, the "Holy Shit" part of this suggests OP doesn't realize that millions of us have been screaming about this, and predicting exactly where we're headed, for decades. If you're surprised by where we're at, apparently you weren't listening.
So now listen up at least. If we don't end the Federal Reserve and its fiat currency system, as well as our progressive income tax and welfare state, the economy is going to COLLAPSE. It will make the Great Depression seem like roaring times of economic success. The entire world will be reshaped to our disadvantage. YOUR life will be hell, with no hope of improvement.
That's not an opinion or a prediction, it's a mathematical reality. Once the interest on our debt exceeds the amount of revenue government can collect, the charade is over. The inevitable collapse could happen long before then, but it CANNOT go past that point. That is the ONLY outcome of a debt based, fiat currency system combined with direct taxation and a welfare state. And it's only turbocharged by an entirely broken border.
I hope like hell 30 years from now someone isn't pointing at this comment from a rat infested homeless shelter and saying, "Holy shit!"

I already eat in, don't drive unless I borrow a vehicle, and don't really go anywhere.
$16 for a burger and fries is a steal in most places now, especially sports stadiums or state fairs.
Looks like the cabal's a little behind schedule.
