I see a default ahead, something like that of Argentina's but with some cultural differences

I don't see much changing on my street except for the old broad on SS finally kicking off when her savings go to zero. The rest of us will struggle on, taming the land, avoiding the cops and other gangsters, doing what has to be done.

You know, life as usual.

One difference is so many of the 'zombies' are sure to go wild when the checks stop coming or start bouncing and then if you live in the city and aren't Amish you will certainly and quickly find yourself in a lot of hurt.

"\The first thing you do when you find yourself in a hole is quit digging."

That would be good advice for local government, has-been real estate and other mob interests to follow.

Well said, and I know what you mean. Have you looked into adding to security with camera systems with software motion detection and uploads to remote servers? That can be done with a broadband connection, some very low-light (starlight or near) cameras for about $100 or so each, and free operating systems and software that are easy to install and rock solid.

Such a system can be homebuilt without heavy expenses and help with the legalities of dealing with looky-loos, corrupt officials or home invading gangs. Just keep the videos and other documents for the Public Integrity Section of the US Justice Dept. (or other concerned agency--includes the more conservative employees who hired on long ago). It could also help with locally prosecuting trespassers, if you're on a private road.

Well said. Yes, and many of those zombies might also be those accustomed to decades of government/admin/business office backstabbing (alternative criminal behavior for easier times). The same kind have committed crimes and become violent in protests in other defaulting countries.

[Psalm 144]

Your tagline says it all, and yes, it is all about the math. People cannot conceive of the implosion of the American economy, and the dissolution of the United States. But it can happen, and unless many programs and oppressions are terminated immediately, it will happen.

[Psalm 144]

Your punchlist, sir, closely resembles my own.

[Psalm 144]

“It’s sad that our young people won’t have the America we had.”

God willing, they may have the one that our great grandfathers had. Man does not live by timeshares, playstations and internet porn alone. From your tagline, I see that you know that though.

Are you kidding? I'm gonna spend money on hardware that breaks down when I can have dogs that love me and will die for me, keep me warm in the winter, bring food when I'm ill?

Thanks. I be a geek. I'm doing a wideband rollout in a couple of weeks.

But I'll take a dog, or even a cat over a camera and a computer.

Dog, we got history, maybe 20K years. Catz? they are on top of everything since we had things.

Computers? Yah..... whatever. I've done microcode on bare metal to really crufty scripts.

I'll take a dog.

I wasn't suggesting getting rid of dogs. Hidden cameras are also one good deterrent against any sneaky person who might try to hurt the dogs when the owner's not looking. :-)

[familyop]

Well, visible cameras. Hidden ones are good for getting justice for any violence done to pets.

Dogs cover that part pretty well. I'm not talking city yapping dogs. Farm dogs do what needs to be done.

You just have to have a shovel handy to lose the evidence.

If you were alive when Christ was born and you spent one million dollars every single day since that point, you still would not have spent one trillion dollars by now. But this year alone the U.S. government is going to go about 1.6 trillion dollars more into debt.

You'd have to go back to the time the Sphinx was created and spend a million a day to reach just this year's deficit.

You'd have to go back to the dawn of civilization to spend a million a day to reach the ~$3.82T federal budget.

The Obama Administration is a Kamikazi attack force. Preparing to nose over in their final plunge.

[screaminsunshine]

Problem. Who can the Tea Party vote for? The GOP? Yhey are partners in the crime.

[The Duke]

It’s sad that our young people won’t have the America we had.

Actually, I'm starting to think that the next generation will do AOK. Sure, a gallon of gas may cost them twenty bucks, but they be bringing home a salary of $1 million.

However, it's *our* generation who might be forced to pay the price through non-existent or worthless Social Security and other government benefits.

We may very well end up paying for our own party - which would be justice at its finest.

Thank you, big brother/s

Wonder what all the “The government is here to help us” types will say when this happens.

" But it can happen, and unless many programs and oppressions are terminated immediately, it will happen. "

To late.

It will happen when these programs are terminated too. There's no way back, IMO.
