And I think for a lot of people it’s going to be – it’s going to feel very hard, harder than anything they’ve experienced in their lifetime now, for some time to come.

I can guarantee it's not going to be too difficult for our rulers that have created this mess. They hardly even attempt to conceal the corruption and self enrichment these days.

"These days the government takes kids away from families who live as our grandparents did."

Yes. Federal funding to local government for deeds like that was passed by both Democrats and Republicans--much of it under the Clintons and bipartisan Congress.

There will be a bond collapse, rapidly rising interest rates, foreclosures, government layoffs, more service business closings, and so on: vicious circles. There's no large manufacturing base or worthwhile currency for supporting big, feminized government. Social "services" such as the kind of event mentioned by you will be gone along with many other offices of wrongdoing, and enforcement of the various measures against potential domestic competition (families) will be much more humble. Well...nonexistant.

Socialism will huff, and she will puff. But her days in America will come to a close before long. Ironically, many of the local government beneficiaries will scream that we're being taken over by socialists, when their days of consequences arrive. They do love to indulge in propaganda and multi-party influence.

Liberal cattle will be the ones who hurt most of all. If you listen to them you realize just how depressed and hopeless they all feel. Its because they’re told that there is no hope without government.

"No it’s isn’t worse that can happen: Michigan Resident Faces 93 Days in Jail For Vegetable Garden"

One thing that I've learned: there's always a way around regulations. One only needs to read the regulations, think, invent, design and build more around. Meanwhile, save, and take plenty of time to study, think, plan and prepare to counter with more well prepared, multi-pronged efforts. A day will come, when we truly private interests will be in charge.

Agreed. Maybe they even subconsciously know that they'll feel naked and afraid without their trappings of officiousness. Another thing: to use some of their own language projected against others of their own kind, "they're guilty as hell, and they know it."

I always pick my liberal relatives brains and find some interesting insights and occasionally teach a lesson.

They think almost exclusively in terms of rich vs poor and can’t understand how both rich and poor people can live harmoniously in my little town with virtually no crime.

The answer is simple conservative values. I’m happy with what I have and I don’t feel that my wealthier neighbors owe me anything. My wealthier neighbors are happy with what they have and know I’m not taking anything from them.

Its kind of funny that we conservatives achieve the harmony that liberals believe can only come with the help of government equally distributing wealth. All it would take for them to be happy, is to realize that they don’t need equal wealth.

Good advice.

Years ago, I remember some people who purchased a bar & grill down by the river front. There was absolutely nothing else on either side of the property lines (in fact, the east side was formerly the site of the city wastewater plant).

They wanted to tear the building down and build new. For some reason, the city wouldn't give them the permits to do it. So they “remodeled”. They literally built new walls all around the original structure. They then went inside and gutted the place!

The future of the USA; one word for ya......

Americathon.

An otherwise mediocre, forgettable film, however, I checked it out to refresh my memory on wikipedia. Frighteningly enough, it wasn’t so off. On the prescience scale, not as good as “Network”, but not too shabby for a crap film.

Oh, and it’s late here in Germany, so if I don’t respond, it’s because I’m calling it a day.

If anyone finds Americathon as downloadable, let everyone know. It’s not as good as “Idiocracy”, which is a scathing satire of pop culture, but I’d like to see Americathon again. Might as well have a laugh as it all goes to hell.

Agreed. There’s quite a mix of poor and moderately wealthy in my very sparsely populated and remote area, too. Can’t say that most of them are very friendly, but some of us are working on that. Coveting is a waste of time and government resources.

Not a lot of room for rich and poor neighborhoods in my vast metropolis.

I actually saw it at the drive-in in 1979. I never dreamed we would be living it 32 years later.

Your place is beautiful. Mine is somewhat like Mars, at over 9,000 feet, just east of some peaks, on the CO Rockies. The power grid’s about 3 miles away, there are usually high winds (gusts over 100 during winter), extreme cold most of the year (maybe high 30s at night now), and it’s a very dry place (precip. mostly snow, which can get very deep once in a great while). Building here is a little slow and rough, but it’s an adventure. ;-)

We’re only trying very short season vegetables in the new garden now. The sterile, hard-packed soil will take another year or two to fix up. Some of the vegetables will most likely need to be covered next year (mid-summer hailstorms, winds, freezes, etc.), but we’re going to find out as to which ones first.

We’re prepping and we’re ready. We got food, water and bullets. What more do we need?

Food. Clothing. Weapons. Survival Goods. Gold and stashed (foreign) cash. Passport. Ammunition. Emergency generators. Water purification. Bibles. Candles. Crank Radios. And lots of true grit. I mean courage and American Staying Power.

Get Ready. The train is rolling into the station. Foreigners who analyze US movements from abroad see this very clearly. It comes up in many of my discussions overseas with foreigners looking objectively at America and its future days.

Don't be unprepared when the human fecal material hits the rapidly-rotating air cooling device.

If you call molten tar with feathers not difficult, then I agree.

“You’d have NO idea of the jerks that sat behind me in the school bus when I was a kid!”
^^^^^^^^^

I was tortured — and I do mean tortured — in public school, so I’ve met the jerks you’re talking about. Hate to tell you, but those kids are now running the country.

Bullies don’t really outgrow being bullies. They just choose certain professions.
