    It may be good business, but for the warrior it sucks. I think we should give all of our politicians M 16’s (maybe with 1 mag) and send them out against an equal number of ISIS fighters. Let them get a taste of war first hand, maybe the heads of tech companies as well. See how it goes, just for grins ya know.

    We (most nations) are broke. We consume more than we produce. We owe so much money that the government couldn't pay it back by taxing us at 100 percent and taking all our stuff. We stay afloat by issuing debt that sugar daddy china is buying. We pay back the debt by creating more debt. It's like making minimum credit card payments for one card with another followed by another but the card has no limit. As long as sugar daddy china buys the fed's debt. We are golden. Why worry, our great grandkids will be paying for this party.

    The day China cashes in their t-bills or refuses to buy more .. then we are done .. in a matter of months. And we will be taking a lot of nations with us. China will be watching and choosing the prime bits and pieces in the aftermath.

    Until then .. party like there is no tomorrow and spend like you are never going to pay it back.

    China just may demand payment in resources like our coal, oil natural gas, oil, timber, grain, pork they process---probably worth more than Bidumbs useless Harriet Tubman 20 dollar bills.

    Self sufficiency. Be able to support yourself and your family. Stored food, water, medicine etc. I prepare for my family.

    Man-oh-man you guys are getting soft. I was thinking sticks and stones...but I'd settle for swords and spears.

    The cost to service the current (NON-Dear Leader added debt) is almost as much as the on-book military budget.

    Call it 15%.

    Over 50% goes to - entitlements.....

    So-- how much longer can this country continue to spend money we don't have, continue to add to a debt we can never pay and still survive. What's the general consensus 5 years, 10 years, 20 years? When the government can not cough up payments to the entitled freeloaders that is when the SHTF.

    I stand corrected. LOL!

    Personally, I do not think much longer. I thought after 3 November that they wouldn't be so crazy as to press on certain issues that would cause severe dissent but I am beginning to believe it truly is game-on and they will get theirs no matter what happens to the country or its people, no matter what the cost. This also goes for financial issues - they could care less about the future and maybe its because they know it all will end up in the toilet so they are getting theirs while they can. I am saying at the end of Uncle Joe's 4-year term we're going to be knee deep into it and too late to get out of it so no matter who gets the next election we'll never crawl out of the muck. You think Obama was bad? Stay tuned. So, I'm betting 4-5 years. Yep, not much longer. I was nice to have a bit of a breather for 4 years and to raise one's head with hope again - wasn't it. Hope you enjoyed it. LOL!

    Yes I have to agree with you Obummer was a cancer --Trump put it into remission-- Bidumb is Obumer's cancer that will metastasized throughout.

    And once again you can't give a coherent argument based on facts as to why you have TDS. Typical liberal

    Nice thought Chell, but recover to what? I hate to be the pessimist, but I don’t give us 4 years. I see the Dems as having the steam engine wide open, they see the oncoming train, but they want to have as much track behind them before the crash and they aren’t slowing down one tiny bit. In fact they are shoveling coal as fast as they can. We truly are in interesting times. Pray for the strength, courage and wisdom to do what is right in God’s eyes and get on with life.

    Well, this August, we're coming up on 50 years since Nixon cut the tie of paper dollars to gold redemption, so if they can manage for another 50 years, I'd say most of us won't care.

    But given the near vertical climb in the printed fiat currency supply over the last few years, my guess is we are on short borrowed time.
