I agree.
What started out as a (very successful) war against White males has become a war against all Whites and Western values.
What states and local communities need to think about is how they take care of the most vulnerable in the face of financial disaster at the national level.
The helpless/dependent may find that family and friends are their only/major support.
Well, I can only speak for Georgia, but the GOPElite in charge at the Capitol is STILL determined to tie the state even more tightly to the Federal government, rather than looking for ways to stand on our own.
Not an unexpected consequence when you elect as Governor, a career United States Senator.
May God grant us strength.

Fighting FedGov tyranny since 1861.
Worried that the Federal Reserve and the U.S. dollar are on the brink of collapse, says a report at CNNMoney, lawmakers from 13 states are seeking approval from their state governments to either issue their own alternative currency or explore it as an option.
In the event of hyperinflation, warns Glen Bradley, who has sponsored one such proposal in North Carolina depression, or other economic calamity related to the breakdown of the Federal Reserve System the states governmental finances and private economy will be thrown into chaos.

Thank you Lord, for not so small favors.
Here is a link to the CNN Money article.

Now to find out how it is going here, and who is driving it.
Thanks much blam, for the tip and the glimmer of good news, statewise.
May God guide our course.

I understand your position, but as a guy who put well over $400,000 (including employer contrib) into SS and Medicare, what am I supposed to do now that I’m eligible to get some back?
No, it has to be cut even more than that.
Remember that some government spending comes back to the government as tax revenue. If that spending goes away, that partially-offsetting revenue also goes away.
“What started out as a (very successful) war against White males has become a war against all Whites and Western values.”
It is more cultural than racial; a lot of the enemies are white liberals.
You’re screwed ... as am I.
Just about everyone in the country is going to find that promises made to them by someone (and not just in governments) will not be kept.
Surviving the abrogation of those promises will be the challenge of the next century.
Century?
Didn't you mean decade?
“I understand your position, but as a guy who put well over $400,000 (including employer contrib) into SS and Medicare, what am I supposed to do now that Im eligible to get some back?”
Morally, not take the money. In the real world, yes, take the money, since you’re already on it. But then work to get it changed for the future, rather than immediately opposing any reform, as most of your generation has done. The system is driving my kids and their future kids into poverty...it must get changed.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think my retirement income (pension from bankrupt company and social sec) would be checks signed by a guy named Hussein.
What a horrible turn of events.
My question was concerning a general economic collapse.
My guess...one to five years.
They will 'kick the can' until we wake up one morning with the suprise.
Nothing can stop it...only delay.
It’s been building for a century.
The only way it can be cleaned-up in a decade is if the 60-70% of the population that thinks they are owed government cheese dies. Literally.
I confess: endtimers and preppers and such used to make me snicker a just a hair not too terribly long ago. But it’s just not funny anymore. If somehow His Evilness, along with his bloody merry band of oppressors retain power after this yr, we are all probably screwed silly.
I appreciate the replies and I believe everything each one of you said which is why I asked the question. No one answered it, though.
