I hear that...it's 'Scorched Earth' time...crash it into the ground..

The quicker this thing fails, the quicker we get to rebuild it.

This country voted for that cliff - give it to them.

You're right. I'm about done with it. Let the sequestration happen. Maybe the sooner this house of cards collapses the better. The people who voted for this crap should be the first ones to suffer its consequences. I just hope I and everyone else here who sees this can protect themselves and their loved ones as best they can.

I am meeting with my financial adviser next week and would appreciate any constructive suggestions you all might have. I have read everything from buying gold to buying bullets, planting gardens to finding an island somewhere to hide out on. What I am looking for is some reasonable way to preserve what I have worked a lifetime to acquire and pass on to my progeny, without having to pull out all the roots and head for the hills (although I know it may come down to that).
