its sad, its heartbreaking. Cause Im 55 and grew up in northern NJ in the 1970s... It seemed like things were heading in the right direction in the 1980s and part of the 90s. People say things are cyclical, that things will improve. the problem is really the level of federal debt. We cant unwing the debt and "red tape" without some massive re adjustments and pain. The convulsions and displacements that will result from this could be relatively peaceful and brief if we let free markets and reason hold sway, but I dont trust gov around the world to do the right thing. We might be facing hyperinflation , civil unrest, civil and or world war again.

Helps to be ready... ammo, food, fuel, hope for the best expect the worst
