I enjoy this forum. More focus on survival and prepping then the sky be falling. I frequent a few other web sites and if you don't believe the economic collapse is going to start Monday you are pretty much out of sync with their reality. While I do think our nation is in significant financial trouble, and that economic collapse will some day happen, I don't see it happening right now. I personally believe that it won't happen without a catastrophic event designed to make it so. Why? Because I think the powers that be like the lives they live, and they will insure it continues. I don't think the elites want to be the elites of a crashed world they want to be the elites of a world with fancy new cars, latest gadget devices, and the superior status over the middle class. An elite in a post economic collapse world (please look at Argentina) is a target. Now of course they can run off to a bunker some where but that world is no where near the same as the jet setting one they enjoy today. Whatever it takes - I think they will make it continue for us - for some time. To me the only threat of economic collapse right now is due to the influence of God or an evil man/woman. The later creating an event that would shake our markets and collapse our dollar. I'm growing leary / weary of the sites that think because the FED over printed we're going to jump into hyper inflation tomorrow. Where as Gold/Silver have just deflated 33 to 50%. Houses deflated 5 years ago. Fuel prices are off their hights finally and change with wind so its hard to put a fix on them in terms of inflation / deflation. Guns and ammo went up over demand and supply not the cost of goods or production. JMHO
