TPTB will extend and delay when TSHTF. But keep in mind that there are lots of people who are experiencing TSHTF already because they are out of work and about to be thrown out onto the streets if they haven't already.

Obama and his fellow criminals want to delay it in order to squeeze as many people thru the vice as they can before everything falls apart.

Crushing the will of a maximum number of people helps them, or so they think. In reality massive poverty doesn't improve their quality of life.

Obama and company will do all they can to delay things. They might not have full control because they ain't as smart as they think they are.

Events could force their hand to act sooner.

Bottom line: they would prefer waiting another year or two as they grind more people down into dust.

A war or some other catastrophe could push the crisis schedule up immensely.
