PING!

It should be plain to see that we are heading (or being driven, depending on your view) toward a economic collapse. Congress doesn’t have the will to cut spending and there is no leadership coming from the White House.

The dollar is falling almost every day and prices are rising, gas is head for $5.00 a gallon and there is no way the economy can’t not bear any tax increases so with out badly need DEEP cuts in spending we are head straight for the cliff.

I see no way we can avoid a crash much like that of Argentina’s only MUCH bigger:

You need to remember that as a armed society and one which contains a much more violent crimial and entitlement minded element our collapse is much more likely to be much more violent than Argentina’s was/is. I see evidence in the daily news that in many big ‘blue’ cities you can expect what I call “Pocket pogroms” will be carried out and if you aren’t ‘Amish’ you better be ready to get out and quick!

For more information on living in a collapse economy I strongly suggest that you read Ferfal’s blog SURVIVING IN ARGENTINA: http://ferfal.blogspot.com

The scary thing is if you live in an urban area, to borrow from another Freeper, I can't remember who, "your face" (ethnic background) has already "chosen" which side you're on.

I have no empirical evidence to support what I say, but I firmly believe that we well-armed, law-abiding types will be able to quickly put down the rabble.

The “entitlement minded”? If not too fat, then definitely too lazy to pose a serious threat, except for in *massive* numbers. But that’s simply the hypothetical zombie scenario we’ve all planned for anyway.

The “violent criminal” element? Mostly gang-bangers, not the types you’ll see at IPSC or IDPA matches, no frickin’ clue whatsoever how to properly handle a firearm, and the reason why you never go to a public gun range on the weekends, especially ranges that rent out Uzis and the like. Again, quick work.

Not to say it won’t be ugly. But it will be far uglier for them than for us. Even if we’re just a small minority, we’re a serious, disciplined, well-trained minority that can withstand anything that a host of gang-banging neanderthals can throw at us.

Question is, what does the surviving government/military complex do with us afterwards?
