		<description>OH my goodness!!!!!

My husband old me I had to read this...It is almost the same conversation word for word we had a few years ago (except for the leaving part). 

I wanted to by a house so bad. Everyone had big cars and nice large homes and all this "stuff". My family thought it was horrid that we were renting and driving a used car, oh the shame of it all!

The hubby had done some simple research and reading and said "In three years it will all be over." He would not get a loan or credit card or anything of the sort.

Now I feel fortunate and "rich" to a certain extent. A car that is paid for, small home, small utility bills, no credit cards. Gee I love that man!</description>

		<description>Ron,

If your savings are in paper assets you will be robbed by inflation.  You must shift your paper assets into hard assets (precious metals, farmland, food, maybe even an underground fuel tank) and the shares of the companies who will benefit from food/fuel inflation.  Inflation is ongoing and continuous so shifting your assets NOW will mean they will appreciate in fiat terms.  Waiting is costing you money.

The US has a 10 trillion dollar debt.  The Fed Funds Rate is not going to go to</description>

		<description>TheLargerPicture gets it.  You're witnessing in real-time the subsuming of the industrial West into a dependent, dumbed-down and subservient bloc under control of the old banking families.  None of this is a secret.  The people with all the guns and the people with all the money will soon be the same people.  

Unless you fight.  Let gold, silver, food and ammo be your IRA.  Get the hell out of Dodge (the town AND the car company).   Keep your cash out of the banks except $100 to keep your account open.  A Wal-Mart safe can be your bank; you don't own it if you can't hold it in your hand.  And yes, for the love of God, CUT UP those cards.  The borrower is slave to the lender.

History can not be repealed by an act of Congress.  Congress, however, can be repealed by an act of History ... unless you Yanks WAKE UP!</description>
