It’s going to be ugly everywhere - and, as usual, states that HAVE their acts together will be asked to help those that DON’T via Federal dollars - which are still our dollars!

Grrrrrr!

LIBERATE WISCONSIN!

Cops will be ordered out to ticket anything that moves. There will be DOT stops on every truck route. Every agency that can will send out code enforcement. They’ll be flying drones over your property looking for violations. They need money and this is how they will get it. Don’t doubt.

They're going to get that $1200 back and a whole lot more.

It’s all 50 states losing tax revenue. The consequences of this induced panic are nearly immeasurable. Probably the primary result will be hyperinflation, something the United States has rarely ever seen, if at all.

I’m optimistic on that issue. The significant inflation of the 70s was caused primarily by OPEC, and they don’t have the stranglehold on production they used to have.
