A government headed by chronic serial liar Obama?
Got a couple of hundred thousand worth of assets for sale for just a few cans of beans and a sleeping bag in which to kiss my fanny goodbye...

I am so thankful we have our government to tell me that, I have been so worried! Every million of dollars it cost them to research this was worth it!

So when did it become prudent to TRUST in anything that the Government said??? I wasn't overly worried about the Mayan calendar thing. Until now.
