So, unless you plan to put your wealth in a secure hole in the ground...... we will most likely loose whatever we have in the bank.<br /><br />And don't forget that hitler rounded up, along with the Jews, all those who didn't "Play Along" with his scheme.<br />So, unless your planning to hide in the mountains for 10 or 15 years, undetected by military drones, and satellites, while the country implodes, we will most likely be rounded up & thrown into FEMA camps for eventual mass murder & burial.

I doubt, however, "registering discontent" will alter the progressive freight train of our present (and potentially reelected) unconstitutional governance. <br /><br />Going Galt will have more effect for reasons mentioned in previous comments here. Yes, the Fed will print to cover continuing revenue shortfalls from diminished economic activity but that, too, will hasten the unavoidable collapse. <br /><br />Imagine a train slowly climbing a grade through a heavily populated area and hordes of people jump on for a ride. So many people attach themselves to this free mode of transportation that the train goes ever slower from their added weight then begins to slip, stop and reverse. (This is the screeching sound we are hearing now of synchronized worldwide economic slowdown) Yet no one jumps off the train as it begins to gather speed in reverse, much faster than it did going upgrade. We are no more accustomed to going backwards in our economies than the people on that train. They may expect things to change back to normal but once realization sets in the reverse speed has hurtled beyond the safe jump-off point it is too late; collapse is inevitable.<br /><br />I don't see a 'muddle-through' solution for the longer term. I can clearly see the inevitability of the tipping point coming very soon that will send us into reverse and collapse. Too many unproductive moochers from ghetto to academia and corporate boardrooms, too little cheap energy anymore, no REAL STATESMANLIKE LEADERSHIP, too much graft and corruption, NO MORALITY, (that anachronistic, unsophisticated has-been) too much entitlement mentality, too little personal responsibility. <br /><br />Only at the point of collapse will sanity and clarity reemerge, hopefully to prevail. Empty bellies will not tolerate more empty political promises that cannot be eaten. The old adage about '3 meals away from revolution' has a new ring of urgency. The sooner economic collapse occurs, the sooner we can get to setting things back in order rather than raising yet another generation of loafers and moochers. <br /><br />We may have to fight, no matter our age. To fail to fight these growing limits to freedom and assaults on our liberties is to acquiesce to tyrannical leanings inherent in human governance. The Founding Fathers, God bless them, provided both for the understanding of our God-given unalienable rights through the Declaration of Independence and the tools within the Bill of Rights with which to reassert our right of consent by the “redress of grievances”. Failing adequate redress, Amendment 2 follows quite plainly.<br /><br />Thank you sir, for your blog efforts, God bless you and God bless the last best hope of free man, these United States of America.<br /><br />Mike in Ga<br />Mike in GAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03173915169237269873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34546675.post-13789600872252849782012-09-29T16:38:51.308-04:002012-09-29T16:38:51.308-04:00Jim, good point!

Conservative economists say that once the proverbial and deadly "tipping point" is reached economically--the point at which the govt has printed so much money that it becomes worthless, which is precisely what will happen if your theory is carried to its conclusion--then the nation will collapse due to two factors--the rising devalue of money, which usually results in either staggering inflation or deflation, either of which will sink the economy. <br /><br />In short, there comes a time when printing more money only hastens the collapse.

I do think God has been planning for us though. Just think where we would be without people like yourself, doing all that great investigative journalism you do. You have informed MANY! And Glenn Beck who has been screaming at the top of his lungs for a better part of 5 years. At least a good majority of us knew. He has worked so hard to warn everyone. It is gonna be a very bumpy, bumpy, scary ride, but, this Nation was blessed by God and we will throw them all out. THEY are the ones who will end up with a hellish way of life, if they are lucky to live through it. So far, every dictatorship I've ever seen, usually goes down in flames, with them begging for their lives. Hitler was a coward. He just did himself in, the SOB. Obama/Holder are nothing. They are cowards, too. God bless you, my friend! Keep investigating! Like you, I can't really be a lot of help with the physical aspects of fighting back, but you and me and millions of others have been spreading the word, since he took his first step into office.... and so it goes.
