Jack, local - exactly. ...Glad to be back ranting!<br /><br />Jack, local - exactly. It has been very rewarding in our town. We've had a couple of pushes for new taxes, and they've been roundly defeated. People got involved because they believed they could actually make a difference by participating. Way cool.<br /><br />Adam, congrats on the debt! My wife and I have done the same. The money that used to go towards payments now goes into our "getting out of California" fund. We should be able to pay a minimum of 50% down, possibly 75% on a property in another western state.<br /><br />The "when" is all falls apart is the big question. I talk about this a lot to customers in my PM store. I tell them I was certain it was going to all unravel by 2010.<br /><br />Who would have ever believed that in late 2008 to early 2009, our government would literally create money out of thin air (quantitative easing) and monetize US debt? A practice that continues to this day, albeit at lower levels.<br /><br />This showed me that the feds will do anything within their power to keep the boat afloat. The thing is, real economics always wins. It WILL blow up, and because of QE, the mess will be horrific.<br /><br />And THAT'S why we prep!Chief Instructorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13604561415860237705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964596045360803212.post-59393949158088990892014-06-27T20:21:19.694-07:002014-06-27T20:21:19.694-07:00I've been wondering where you were.
I'm d...I've been wondering where you were.<br /><br />I'm doing the same thing. I noticed a lot of irregularities with the primaries this year with results being posted early on and then changing big time. It was reported as a "glitch." <br /><br />I know it's coming, it's just how and when and how bad. I managed to get out of debt recently and am just waiting and working on my random skills.Adamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964596045360803212.post-28737525504771032772014-06-27T19:26:58.463-07:002014-06-27T19:26:58.463-07:00Amen brother, you're preaching to the choir, b...Amen brother, you're preaching to the choir, but at least you're preaching the truth. I tell my sheeple friends the federal level is gone, beyond help or hope.
