Sigh.What, exactly, do you think is going to happen?
There is plenty of food to go around. Look at how fat everyone is in America.
CostCo was swarmed, today. In fact, I actually said ‘worst depression ever’ in true comic book guy fashion.

Kewp, that is just the problem, everyone happens to look inside the box. A busy Costco doesn’t necessarily mean our economy is booming. Costco means bulk and people are sometimes misled that Costco is the cheapest. Even in the new “Greatest Depression” Wal-Mart will thrive because they offer the cheapest products in town, so don’t kid yourself into thinking a busy store means everything is ok.
It’s the small things that actually trouble me. If the cost of goods hits a certain point due to inflation which seems inevitable, I can only imagine, just based on this fact alone, that we could see some serious issues here in the US.
No one really knows what could happen. As you well know this country is emotionally based. If the media starts pushing out the true picture of our country things could change overnight. Right now they are doing quite well at hiding the facts. They can’t hide the numbers for to long and when that happens I would hope that those who had the chance to prepare did so!
The last few years I have spent ample time burying my head into the current numbers that directly effect our economy. I’ve looked at unemployment numbers to debt and I personally feel we are at an unsustainable point in this country and globally.
Like I always say, “Prepare for the worst, but HOPE for the best”. I am not referring to the type of Hope Barack Obama was shooting for. That type of hope is a crowd of people thinking one person can do it all. This country is far too lazy to solve such a great calamity, they want everyone handed down on a silver platter while the responsible fit the bill.
Trust me, things are going to get much worse and if you don’t think we are going to see some catastrophic issues in this country you will be sorely mistaken.

ParticipantThis is a bit off the subject of inflation, deflation, but this video is a wealth of knowledge and understanding of how we are where we are!

ParticipantI still think the majority of the population is assuming that Obama will be saving us all. Unfortunately there is very little he can do at this point to minimize the destruction of our economy or anyone else for that matter. I think the central banks will likely try to pull some sort of drastic moves in the next 3 or 4 months, but it is just too little too late.
I personally have stocked on some supplies, i.e. large water storage supplies, bags of rice, propane and some other odds and ends. I am far from prepared for any sort of disaster, but a lot more mentally prepared for what could happen.
I remember sending out a letter to the family about 5 months ago during the initial collapse of the markets. One of my family members called me up and started laughing. Now I get a call from him every few days for updates. He is losing his home, his job and many things he spent his life accumulating merely because he assumed this collapse was a myth.
A quick story. I am out in Nevada working on some alternative energy projects and happened to run by the sporting goods section of a Wal-mart. First off, Wal-Mart stores in Nevada sell guns and ammunition, secondly I asked how the sales of ammo were and the woman behind the counter said certain ammo such as 9mm bullets and other smaller rounds didn’t stay on the shelves for more than a day. From what she was saying people were coming in and buying bullets in bulk. I think Obama has something to do with it, but I also think that the realization is here that we are in trouble in this nation and protecting ourselves and our family is the number one priority.
