I hope he's wrong, but fear he's right.....so I'm hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.
We're doing a fairly light Christmas around here from a financial standpoint. For every weekly trip to the grocery store I'm having Mrs. Tantal buy $50 worth of food for long-term storage (rice, beans, canned meats like tuna, chicken, and spam, oatmeal, pasta, vitamins, toothpaste, toilet paper). I'd like to have at least a year's worth of basic food supplies stored up by summer. We've got enough clothing and blankets that we should be okay if we lose electricity and the house becomes basically a rigid tent. I do need a generator though.
Aside from that, I have some like-minded partisans in the neighborhood who are doing the same. And we have enough guns and ammo to ward of any DUmmie horde who, like the grasshopper, failed to prepare for such an event. Unfortunately, if this does happen, Uncle Sugar won't be in a position to bail the DUmmies out.
Hate to sound like a kook, but I've read and seen movies about the Great Depression. I don't want to get caught with my pants down.
