If we do not get rid of Obama there will be no America. I would rather still have America, even if it is ruins. We can rebuild it better.

Buy nothing and max out your IRA and 401(k) contributions keeping your money out of the governmeents hands. Lower your withholdings so you break even in April, put the additional “take-home” in tax deferred savings.

I did the same with guns and ammo. Since I moved from California I’ve been able to own a more diversified group of firearms.

"Join the resistance. Buy nothing.

Having been a member of the resistance for years, I can't take that advice.

We are done with saving, scrimping & making do. This is no longer the America where that is admirable or even wise. It only makes you the target of higher taxes, so you can foot the bills that Obama is ringing up at an unprecedented rate. And if you think ANY of the current administration's programs will be rescinded by the next administration, you are far more optimistic than I.

Your wealth (no matter how well you guard it) is no longer your own. And day by day, it will be even more of a target by the wealth re-distributors. Spend it yourself or watch others appropriate it & spend it for you.

7. Don't do any business with Democrats, ever.

Corollary to that: if there is a Republican/Conservative small businessman, do what you can to continue supporting him.

I've cut back spending in a very serious way for just the reason this article states, but I'm actually spending more now on my hobby than I was before (no, it's not firearms). There's a local shop owned by a guy who is a solid Conservative, and I know he's hurting. I'm only dumping a fraction of what I'm hold back from the rest of the economy into him, but I do think I'm doing good by helping him stay in business.

I have cut back spending considerably.

Fine with me...Hussein gets as little from me as possible, because he will be taking from me as much as possible.

Economically Retarded is the best way to describe him and his followers.

......I am making her a cutting board......

You are following the advice of that great American economist, Professor Walter E Williams, who set the example by giving his wife an new ironing board cover and some vacuum cleaner bags.

Thanks, and understood. The logic is impeccable for a SHTF situation.

It’s not political for me. We’ve been trimming debt, increasing available cash for a while now.

The detached garage really needs new siding. But the quotes came back at 4K or more, we bought a hundred bucks’ of paint and did a patch job.

If we need something big, we look for a sale and free financing.

It’s about the anti-Christ Obama, but it’s not political. I just think that he’s harming the recovery and likely setting us up for a double-dip recession, among other problems down the road.

Maybe it is sort of like radiation on cancer. The wealth of the country is the host to the parasitic socialists who are using it to grow?

Land is power and right now there are many parts of the country where you can buy it on the cheap.

Until some bureaucrat finds an exotic slug and places it on an endangered species list rendering your land off-limits to everyone, including you. How many millions of acres have been confiscated as "wetlands?"

Maybe having an ‘affluent lifestyle’ isn’t the most important thing right now.

The pain of keeping the recession going, until Obama leaves, is temporary. The pain that will be caused by all of the programs Obama is trying to put in place, will be permanent. If Obama succeeds, the American middle class will be wiped out, and we will never be free again (until the next revolution).

Exactly. There is more and more chatter on the internet about a ‘bank holiday’ within the next 6 months.

Buy durable good and things that will be easy to barter with.
