Right now as I am typing away on my keyboard, the media is
talking about the potential for $6 a gallon gas. In parts of Europe
it’s already at $10. Are we soon to follow?
Food process, which have held relatively steady so far are
now steadily climbing, with some economists guesstimating they could rise as
much as 25% before the end of the year!
Our government, which was elected to solve problems, is now the
problem! Congressional approval by all parties has them at just 9%. And, as
incredulous as it may seem, assembly of legislators has been unable to come up
with a budget in over three years! Do you get the feeling this may all end
poorly?
Now, would be a good time to get your house in order, mom and
pop. Start thinking about how you will get around and how you will eat when
there is no gas at the pump and no food in the stores.
Think I’m crazy. ‘A report released March 16, 2012 by the
Congressional Budget Office (CBO) says that President Barack Obama’s 2013
budget will add some $6.7 trillion in deficits over the next decade, almost
doubling the federal debt by 2022.’ That would mean that for every dollar the
government took in from taxes it would also have to borrow a dollar just to
stay afloat. Does that sound even remotely sustainable to you?
OK. So enough of the doom and gloom. It’s time that every
American family took stock of their particular situation and get into action. Imagine
that only food you will be able to get on a regular basis is the food you grow,
the fish you catch or the animals you kill. Before it gets to that, sit down
with your family and make some plans. If nothing bad happens to the economy,
then you had the pleasure of spending some time together. If things go to hell
in a hand basket, then the time was well spent.
