I picked up a trivia fact from Greg Simmons newsletter and started doing some calculations that will put our current govt. budget deficit into perspective.  Remember, this is the annual unfunded spending beyond revenues of fiat, funny money created out of thin air.  This is not to even mention the total govt. debt which is monstrously larger.

If you had walked the earth over two millennia and had started spending a million dollars per day every single day since the birth of Jesus, you would have spent only one half of our present $1.5 trillion annual govt. budget deficit!!! You would have managed to spend in over two thousand years only half of what the US govt. “over” spends per year!

I’m asking Starr to send this to our local county-wide self- reliance preparedness group, BSOSC (Bitterroot Survival Outfitting Systems Co-op) to reinforce to all why I’m so gung-ho in getting our barter based alternative micro- economic system developed, along the lines of the guidance in Tom Greco’s book, The End of Money and The Future of Civilization.  My notion is the sooner the better to have it fully functioning before the inescapable crash.

I reckon no one is so delusional as to think this can keep up much longer without crashing into the Greatest Depresssion ever.  There is still some bit of time to get out of US dollars which are in an unprecedented dilution mode.  Each day many millions of dollars are created out of nothing, rapidly  diluting the purchasing power value of your present dollars.

Once again, I urge folks to get their funds, however meager, out of US dollars and invested into what we call F.A.M.I.L.Y. commodities, so you will be prepared for the coming storm.

Happy Preparedness Trails,

About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier: “A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. “A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. “From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship. “The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:

1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
3. From courage to liberty;
4. From liberty to abundance;
5. From abundance to complacency;
6. From complacency to apathy;
7. From apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage

We cannot escape the laws of the universe, as history does “repeatedly” repeat itself!!! Only those who prepare now have any chance of escaping bondage or worse.
