February 12, 2008 Great Depression Predictions may be too Sanguine by MrArbitrage
If – we look at history – and obviously our Hussein and Congress do not – but if we did – we would see how the same actions now being taken by our government turned a recession into a “Great Depression”. I’ve got news for you – expecting history to repeat itself here might actually prove to be far too sanguine. That’s because...

Right on the money.
As I’ve been saying repeatedly here on FR for the past 100 days, WE ARE NOT SIMPLY IN A CYCLE. No, things aren’t going to return to “normal.” WAKE UP - all things have changed - nothing is the same.
I wonder what Obama thinks about a segment of America clearing shelves of ammo since his election.
I guess I'm good.
The socialists currently running the government WANT A DEPRESSION! They are doing everything in their power to initiate one. They are not stupid, they have a plan to control all aspects on ours lives.
“Guns - Check
Ammo - Check
40 acres of farm ground - Check
I guess I’m good.”
Sounds great! Are you looking for a tenant?

Yes I had to look it up
#1 + #3 Fits the predictions, #2 + #5 describe Obama
There are some "rats" have no interest in saving the economy. There are other "rats" that are just too dumb to know better. Include 3 GOP senators in the latter.
40 acres is about all a man can farm without a tractor. I wonder how long stored gasoline will keep in a 300 gallon tank.
I do think that if it gets really bad, that it will be a matter of life and death to protect what you've got. These Obamabots will be no different than Mugabe's mobs. Lately I've found myself making a list of items that are "must haves".
“...25 acres could make a fine truck farm, and might suffice a family of four if its good ground.

You’d be surprised how much produce you can grow on just a mere 10 acres of good soil with the right equipment and climate. Even 10 acres (without a tractor) is a verrrrry big undertaking by hand farming alone.
And Yes. They WILL come... Once the govt checks start bouncing or stop showing up in the mail, they’ll get hungry very quickly. Urban areas will be last place you’ll want to be as they will be hardest hit, but the animals WILL come to the country like swarming locusts looking for food.
Keep it locked & loaded, friend.
With preservative, I have run gas with no problem that had been stored for ten years... had a friend that went to Palmyra Island in the Pacific and found several drums of av-gas from WWII and it ran fine in the generators that they were using... that was back in the nineties. Sealed from water and humidity it will last a long time. Many moons ago, when I was a Boy Scout... I learned... BE PREPARED!

I’m thinking of my nuclear family and perhaps a couple more as my children grow up.
Need a good supply of wood and that will take about 10 acres of timber (can run pigs in that).
Need about 5 acres for vegetable farming.
Need 20 acres for grazing livestock.
Need 20 acres for corn, wheat, etc. if there isn’t modern seed, fertilizer etc.
I’d also like to have an orchard in there somewhere, which I could probably put around my 5 acre vegetable plot (thus making it easier to protect from all forms of vermin.
What have I forgotten?
