>>Let it fall to pieces..I have the iomportant stuff taken care of.... I would not LIKE to lose all I have invested...but I have ALSO invested heavily for those future scenarios too


>>"fresh water, food, antibiotics and guns." >You forgot lead (CHECK) and brass(CHECK A fewlabeled National Match), a handloader(CHECK) and a good hunting dog(CHECK x3). ( and do not forget enough of the right smnokeless powders to use in the reloading process).. and a FEW rounds of the cheap shit for those weapons that primarily use Berdan primed ammunition in prodigious amounts


So when all this happens- how do I get in touch with you so we can try to continue our species.:ph34r::P

>>That might work if I was a tad younger dear.....BUT... I will entertain energetic Cabana Boys.....

:D:D are you challenging me?

So is that your perception of the end of civilization? you entertaining cabana boys- and having fun shootouts with poachers?:D:D

I guess The History Channel shows a little more of a depressing situation.

In freefall? Where is the parachute?http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=080307214940.0dusc96f&show_article=1Here?> "The Fed hopes to soothe rattled credit markets by opening up its cash spigots in a bid to stop the financial markets gumming up." ---Yeah that's the ticket. Let's print more money backed by NOTHING!



But in 11 months Bush will retire in luxury to his ranch, supported by the millions he made courtesy of the taxpayers of Arlington TX and his rich oil buddies.



It wont really matter. The dollars sinking faster than the Titanic so he wont be able to afford much. When stores in Manhattan start preferring the Euro to Greenbacks that's a warning sign.

I like it! We give big military contracts to French companies, and after many years it all 'trickles down' to US workers.



Oil $111/bbl today

Dollar at record low.

Gold over $995/oz

Thank you Ronnie, George and George.

I think you missed someone in Ronnie, George and George bit. I don't like eliminating Clinton from history. He wasn't perfect, but he oversaw some good things.

p.s. - gold is still at less that half it's all time high (adjusted for inflation).

This means that things could get far worse.

> don't forget to thank speculators as well.

Quite true - speculation has a lot to do with current prices.

>And some naive late comers to the commodities party . . .

People were saying that about the people who bought in at $88 a gallon in Feb. 25% gain in a month; not bad.

Same reasoning about tech stock buyers in 2000.

If they sell for that 25%, good for them. But you earn nothing until you close out, and in a true speculator bubble, you're always betting that a greater fool will come along, you're no longer betting on any fundamentals.

Anyone thinking further than this month about oil is gambling. I don't think the dollar will stay as weak, and oil prices have been going up despite increasing inventory.

Gold is even scarier to invest in as the supply of it isn't likely as limited as oil. And the silver speculators buying into RichDadPoorDad's claim that there is only a 10 year supply remaining...suckers.

I hate to say I told you so, but many of you guys in here supported these guys(ronnie, goeorge and george) with thier goal to line their pockets as much as possible by fulfiiling thier evil adgenda, while many others warned that your economy will surrer tremendously.....

Guess what,

It did.

and the country will be more at risk with a weaker economy.

kinda a waste of time don't you think?

Unfortunately for many other economies they will be bought down with it.

I'm glad my country has just started pumping its vast oil reserves, as much as an environmentalist I am, keeping your country green costs money.

What does the availability of an internet forum have to do with whether or not he (and others, including me) predicted in 1980 et seq. that Voodoo Economics would ultimately dig us unto a huge hole.

GHWB had it right the first time.

Voodoo economics - the idea that excessive taxes are somehow going to encourage businesses to grow and individuals to spend.

Better to pull the pigs (Congress as a whole) back from the trough.

Conservative economics - the philosophy of spending more, making less and pretending that it will all somehow work out in the end.

In regards to the current administration, yup - they seem to have forgotten the bit about pulling the hogs back from the trough, haven't they?
