I just had a fantastic day with my Daughters and Grand kids, reminding I have plenty be thankful for.
You sure know how to throw a wet blanket on a good Thanksgiving Day. 

Don't hold your breath waiting for Gods help, get prepared and help your self as said in the good book "God helps those who help them selves"

I would like to believe I have every thing I need to get by, Beef of the hoof, lots of garden space and about 4 Acres of fire wood. Now I guess I need to stock up on ammunition.

As my dad always told me growing up, "Financial security is a farse." and "Hunger is the great motivator." 

When the wolf comes growling at the door you either find a way to run him off or you shoot him and eat him!

I am not the smartest person in the world but I have always believed that the only security a person has is what's between their ears, and the ability to turn their hand at anything.  As evidence by the posts on this forum theres allot of others here that feel the same way and that makes me confident that when the economy finnaly hits the bottom it will be because people like us will be the ones that tie the not at the end of the proverbial rope. 

Just my 2 cents.

That's pretty old news by now.   What about Ruskys coming in to help that nut run things now and drilling off Cuba.  He thinks they can't overthrow him and take over "his" oil too?
