Just when you start to feel like you are winning the rat race, along comes faster rats.

Peering into my crystal ball, I see nothing but static. What Obama and his hordes are doing to America has no precedent in American history. Without precedent, trying to predict the reaction and eventual outcome amounts to skyballing.

Myself, I am hunkering down. Buy it new, wear it out. Use less, do without. I made the last major purchase I plan for this year when I bought this new computer (although I will make software upgrades). My television is 15 years old and when it finally dies, will not be replaced. I don’t have a car, I don’t have a credit card, I have no debt.

Since they can’t squeeze blood from a turnip, I think I am pretty safe.

In the spirit of altruism, you must jump into the stew pot. That is the duty of a good turnip.

Sounds like you're in good shape to pack up for the gulch and leave little behind in the way of strings. Do you own property? That and raising a handicapped child is holding me down. Although the property issue may be problematic, it may not be worth much soon. I guess I could bring the kid along to the gulch. There will likely still be needed for unskilled labor.

Then again, if Obumwad keeps this up, the gulch may come to us. Wouldn't that be a kick?
