I can't remember a time in my life when I have felt so desperate for our country. Everywhere I look there are articles, TV shows, movies and Internet postings by the thousands that are advocating a survivalist mentality. Back in the 1980's and 90's people used to call people that were becoming survivalists, wackos, bigots (because there were mostly white people adopting this attitude and now EVERYONE is thinking that way) and a host of other names that denoted insanity because many of us though the junk was going to hit the fan then. Of course, that was trillions of dollars ago, and now, with lay offs from major corporations, massive taxes on the horizon, and a shut down of government offices, we are more afraid than ever.
The Political Climate is Getting Nastier
If you look at the family as the nucleus of a civil government, you can see the same model at work on a smaller level. Mom and Dad hate each other's guts and are blaming the heck out of each other for whatever mess they are in. Ask any marriage counselor what the #1 reason for divorce is, and usually the counselor will answer, "Money." Once money becomes an issue in a family, the parents usually result to name calling and finger pointing, much like the Republicans and Democrats are doing now. Over time, if the money doesn't start rolling in again, both parties will hate each others guts while the children (in this case, the American people) watch in horror. Heck, there may be a divorce (civil war) to settle the matter.
Many people with common sense can see this coming and THEY are preparing. It really doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this stuff out, but let's take a look at it in a practical manner.
Currently here is an approximation of the government's numbers:
- Us taxpayers revenue: $2,170,000,000,000
- Federal Budget: 3,820,000,000,000
- New debt: 1,650,000,000,000
- National debt: 14,271,000,000,000
- Recent budget cuts: 38,5400,000,000
Now to puts these figures into a manner a family can relate to:
- Annual family income: $21,700
- Money the family spent already: $38,200
- New debt on their credit card: $16,500
- Outstanding Balance on the credit card: $142,710
- Total budget cuts so far: $3.85
Let's just add to the fact that the United Nations wants the US to give out billions to lesser developed countries starting this year and that the media has not made any bones about telling us all about Taxameggdon which is coming in January.
But hey let's look on the bright side! You also have a war looming in the middle east to take your minds off of it, so, what the heck.
Now, I'm Writing about Survival
Since eminent doom is at our doorstep (at least on a financial level) I am committed to writing less about politics and more about survival strategies and people that know about them. All across the country , people known as "Preppers" are getting ready for a calamity and it makes no sense to keep dwelling on how these parties are different or how they can do things differently, if they aren't going to change anything!
Instead of reaction we need to take action, so each post I'll publish different survival ideas and ways you can get your family ready for the coming collapse when it occurs.
Hurry!
