HOW FAR ARE WE WILLING TO GO? I SAY, LETS JUMP OFF THE CLIFF!

JUST HOW FAR ARE WE WILLING TO GO?

I SAY, LETS JUMP OFF THE CLIFF!

I know, I remember what our Mothers told us about, If your idiot friend jumped off the Cliff, would you follow? As it turned out she was mostly right, but not always, not NOW, not this time.. I'm suggesting that our Mothers are sometimes just flat out wrong.. Most women, Not your Mother of course, but at least 56% of women elected Obama, twice, so they aren't always right..

This is the real truth telling moment in our Nation's present and future.. We were handed our collective ASS in this debacle of an election.. The Liberals put it all on the line to get this man back into the White House to finish what he started, and what the Liberals/Communists started almost a century ago..

THE REAL PROBLEM!

We are weakened because we didn't stop the thief of this process when we allowed all of those cute sounding seemingly innocuous rule changing election laws, Motor Voter, Absentee Voting, Early Voting, and Extending Hours..

We spread out the security protection and limited the oversight of the one thing that insures that this great nation is a Nation of Laws, dictated by WE The People, and placed the Elected Representative form of governance in the hands of corruptible politicians and influential unelected bureaucrats..

We lost because we follow the laws, and they don't..

We are at the mercy of the will of the people.. We believe that TRUTH will out.. That our ideas are sound and that most people will recognize what will hurt them, and that they will stop policies that are wrong will become obvious, and that those expounding wrongheaded laws will be shunned in the next election..

That dog no longer hunts.. Much of what is wrong with this country is it's people! I could spend the next ten days giving examples of why the people do what they do, but you are as aware of those problems as I am.. Education, Immigration, Entitlements, yada, yada, yada..

THE SOLUTION IS HERE NOW!

I am a problem solver, not a brainiac, or a prognosticator, or even smart.. I live in a real world, and started businesses that succeeded, lots of them.. When I decided years ago, whether I should go to college, I checked my reality, and recognized that I was poor, so I started out as an Entrepreneur..

I like most of you look at life and respond with the cards that we are dealt.. First lesson is that when you see that something being done is wrong, STOP IT! When someone is Bleeding, STOP THE BLEEDING, Fast..

Almost all of our problems in this country is from spending.. We allowed the spending to get way out of control, and we put into law, spending that has become so endemic that we are at a lose to stop it.. NOT TRUE!

If we STOP THE MONEY, it all has to stop, right? That too is NOT TRUE! We have all learned to borrow, and most of us also learned that it can, and often gets out of control..

THE FISCAL CLIFF IS THE TOURNIQUET OF GOVERNMENT!

All of the elements of what is wrong with the Government is coming together at the same time.. YES, THAT IS TRUE! It stops the flow of money at once.. It also stops the borrowing if the congress has not given it the authority to raise the DEBT LIMIT! BINGO, everything has to change if that happens.. Government has to trim, drastically reduce spending, eliminate programs, or SHUT DOWN!

We all agree that the politicians, Forget about US, will not allow their jobs to stop paying THEM! But we also know that few if any will put their own career on the line for something so noble as saving our Country.. But we just learned a lesson, that we will never win another election now that the Liberals have all of the strings in place to steal every election in the future..

We do not have any other power but to stop something from happening, not move any legislation that will encumber the left from their power.. If we can convince our fat cat politicians that in 2 short years that we will kick their asses out of the cushy seats they might, just might, decide to take the gamble and SHUT IT DOWN, if only to save their own butt..

What if they shut it all down, it's a stretch, but what if? The Markets will tank, for a shot time only.. Banks will threaten to shut down under the RUN ON THE BANK theory.. Hundreds of thousands of government employees are going to start getting pink slips, and foreign markets begin to crumble their own weight, without us to prop them up.. Your own paychecks may be in jeopardy..

HOW MUCH ARE YOU WILLING TO RISK..?????

If we attempt to do this, and don't succeed, we will look like a paper tiger.. Personally, I am willing to do it.. But I am old, and have only a few short years to live it down.. LOL

I am really not 100% sure what you want to do?

I see the reasons, but not the actual plan.  Or am I missing something?

It’s the courageous thing to do. The system will crash, but it is the least we can do for those that shed their blood for freedom.

When rats take over your house, burn down the house and build another.

I’m out of debt aside from my house and don’t pine for many material things. I’d be fine with it just tanking. I’m already anticipating layoffs in my company. I just started here, so I’d be low-hanging fruit for them.

Another Great Depression does not sound too good. Such circumstances have historically strengthened the radical, political left; it is the last thing we need to have happen.

This is not as easy as I make it sound, but with a good game plan, it can be done.. Remember we have the TEA PARTY!

BTW.. keep this under your hat.. Loose lips and all that.. shuuuuush.. :)

Part of any prepper type activities for this should be to use your newly accquired EBT and SNAP cards to buy food that is storable...

Can the Food Insurance site take EBT cards?

You can buy all sorts of canned and dried food with EBT, you can buy Jerky with it... ect.....

WHY SHOULD PREPPERS SPEND THEIR OWN DAMNED ALREADY TAXED MONEY TO PREPARE FOR THE COLLAPSE THAT IS INEVITABLE????

WE SHOULD BE THE ANT THAT ROARED AND USE THEIR TOOLS AGAINST THEM AND USE THOSE TOOLS THEY GIVE US TO PREPARE FOR THE COLLAPSE THAT THOSE VERY TOOLS WILL EVENTUALLY CREATE.

The Grasshoppers will use their EBT cards to buy junk food and lobster, use your EBT to buy long term food storage.... Save your grocery budget to buy brass instead, it is going to be a lot more expensive soon enough!

Don’t just “Go Galt”, Instead “Poll Vault” so far over their heads they don’t even see it comming!

Ha-ha! Got this visual in my head of rats running rampant everywhere in our house. Yes, that's what is happening to our nation, filthy rats everywhere I look. I say let the fiscal cliff happen, hold the line and no more taxes, let the rats squirm when everything burns. Obama can blame the guy who held the White House the last four years.

It's a secret, but I can tell you if you promise to keep it quiet! Tell the GOP to vote NO on raising the DEBT LIMIT.. viola.. BOOM!

I agree that going over the cliff and widespread collapse may be the only solution for the fatal Marxist virus running through the US. But, how do we get that tower of jello Boehner to stand tall and refuse to increase the debt ceiling and refuse some deal with Obama on the Fiscal Cliff. I think the House is going to go along in some bipartisan deal and they will not listen to the GOP base.

I agree. Let it crash. It's early, in four years, the electorate will have forgotten the who, what, when, etc. Believe me, they will! Clintoon raised taxes, retroactively, at the beginning of his first term (so that I, for the only time in my life, actually owed still more when I filed) and by '96, the people had forgot all about it (and re-elected him).

Crash it, repeat ad nauseum that it's the Dems fault. The media, of course, will blame the Repubs, but they always do and will do so in this case, no matter what, anyway. Start talking a recovery game and do it for the next four years until people say, "I keep hearing about that." and they'll start to pay attention.

Either that, or use the crash to tell the libs to take their part of the country and start their own, we'll clean up the mess here and carry on.

Iceland jumped off the cliff, and now they are well on the way to recovery.

You’ll probably lose 50% of your net worth almost immediately.
Agree, you’ll lose it anyway, but over a longer period of time. If you think we’re looking after too many now, just imagine that number multiplied by 10. Civil war would be inevitable...I don’t want to have to kill my neighbor.

I personally think that “We, the People” don’t have to do anything right now, except wait.

The Obama Crime Syndicate is planning to turn over (what little remains of) U.S. sovereignty to the UN. Soon, treaties will be signed which will curtail gun ownership rights for U.S. citizens, regulate the Internet and control oil and mineral rights in the world’s oceans i.e., the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST).

Add to that the plan to continue to expand the welfare state by taxing the productive class at ever higher rates, in order to pay for “more free stuff” that the parasitic class will demand.

And Obamacare will ruin the once finest medical treatment system the world has known.

The system will crash all on its own, but not the way the left wants it to.

So the irony

We may need to go over the Cliff. If I thought substantial automatic cuts in spending were in fact to happen I would be happy to pay the additional 18K it will cost me in taxes. Of course the following year I would expect to pay much less as I will clearly take an income hit. About the one year anniversary of tumbling over and assuming the correct cuts are made I expect the takers will realize the problems they created and will educate themselves.

Batten down the hatches

If an army of dumbed down leeches takes 50 years to take down a system and collapse it...

Imagine what a group of producers who are pissed off and know hard work and are extremely motivated can do in 4 short years!

This election has proven to me that the system is dead and since we cannot pull the plug on the welfare state which is locked up in the next room, the next best thing to unplugging it is not to stop paying the elctricity bill (”going galt”) because they can always borrow from other countries/our kids futures etc...

No, the solutuion is to “Poll Vault” over their heads and start plugging in as many hair dryers, space heaters, and microwaves into the circuit until we trip the damned breaker and then when they come screaming to us we position ourselves as the breaker box behind their backs and let them know we will only reset it once they unplug their damned stuff.

“Going Galt” WILL ONLY WORK ON A SYSTEM THAT HAS CURRENCY THAT IS BACKED BY SOMETHING OF VALUE!!!
