When it will happen, no one knows. That
it will happen now seems more certain. What I wonder about the most,
however, is not so much about the causes of the coming National
catastrophe, but rather what life will be life in a post apoplectic
America. What will food and basic services cost? Will there even be
basic services? Or, will America be plunged in another dark age
whereby men and women will be forced to live brutal and short lives?
Today, in early 2013, the US is still
the place many people want to live and grow up! It's still a
destination for millions who would like to become citizens. A place
where one can enjoy the fruits of hard and honest labor while basking
in a very techno-rich and varied society. In America, even in spite
of recent changes, you can still find reasonable healthcare services
and even if you find yourself dead broke, you are pretty much
guaranteed not to starve. The question that arises, is how long will
it all last?
Plainly speaking, our country is
floating in a sea of debt almost without bottom! Most of us would
find it very hard to wrap their minds around a number as large as 16
trillion, but the real story is that amount does not cover our real
debt, an amount now estimated to exceed 122 trillion! And while, the
country produces as much as 8 trillion a year in terms of GDP, that
sum is quickly swallowed by a bloated government that is actually
adding a trillion or more on the books over and above what it takes
in in taxes. Very soon, perhaps in just a few years, the Fed will be
forced to begin hollowing out the Middle class taxpayer as it strives
to feed the endless Congressional appetite . Even as recently as last
week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid issued this statement
in a letter to the President as concerns raising the debt ceiling:
"We believe you must be willing to
take any lawful steps to ensure that America does not break its
promises and trigger a global economic crisis -- without
congressional approval, if necessary," the letter
said.
This statement hints at the lengths
that the Democrats will go to, up to and including violating the
Constitution, just in order to keep the spending orgy in Washington
afloat a little longer. Such conduct boarders on treason, as far as
I'm concerned, although such actions are becoming par for the Far
Left vis a vie Harry Reid's warped thinking process.
My advice to all who are reasonable and
thinking adults is this: Arm up and stock up cause the shit is about
to hit the fan!
