To survive the Opocalypse, me and mine are doing the Atlas Shrugged plan.

My grandparents survived hard times by being frugal and self reliant, we'll do the same while giving the parasites as close to nothing to sustain themselves as possible.

I'm betting they'll starve before we do.

I’m thinking along the same lines - keep talkin.’ People are listening . . .

Ditto here. I plan to buy as little as possible, fortunately my lady has all kinds of crap stockpiled around here! No big ticket purchases, and I'm going to find ways around buying anything that will show up on some publically-traded company's balance sheet. Obviously, that will be impossible with gasoline, and there may be a few other such items, but I can figure out how to get what I need for at least the next couple of years without feeding the beast.

I advise people to shop at thrift stores, garage sales, Craigslist and eBay. I'm going to buy my produce at the local farm market that is run by an entrepreneur. I'm going to try to trade my labor as a computer repair/networking person for goods from others and keep it off the books in any case.

Barry may be able to borrow our grandchildren blind, but he cannot "rescue" the economy without help from it's most productive citizens. And we desperately need to withhold that help!

Our plan exactly as well. And I’ve stocked up on everything I think we’ll need for awhile, I’m not buying one penny more of anything not absolutely essential, to avoid paying sales tax.

I’m also sending back charity request junk mail with a polite “sorry, no, why don’t you ask Obama for more money? Due to the high tax rate that is expected to go higher under his administration, I’m fresh out” note.

We’re dropping out of the system as much as humanly possible without actually quitting our jobs. And if either of us get laid off, we don’t plan on looking for awhile. We have no debt and can skate for awhile.

I’m also giving out copies of Atlas Shrugged to everyone I know who might read it. Even if they don’t agree with it, it will get them thinking.

--they'll just print more money.
