Many thanks for fine post! If Americans were all online and protected themselves by heeding the advice of Jim Sinclair and John Williams they would stand a good chance of surviving the coming debacle.

......and the angel was crying out "A measure of wheat for a penny."
A loaf of bread will cost an entire days wages.

The Bible says to learn a trade that will allow you to go to any city and find work.
Knowledge, not politicians, is the most valuable commodity. Learn how to make something from scratch that people really, really need. It could save your life someday. You die, so does your gift.

“Hyperinflation is what I’ve been afraid is coming our way. I don’t see how it can be avoided. I have such a hard time accepting this reality. That this would happen to my beloved country is a nightmare.”

You echo my thoughts and conserns.

I know I saw that and could have choked but it was the story as written. I like one of the other responses that we don’t let them escape!

I can always get water from the pool or the nearby pond, but then how do you make it safe to drink?

Filter it to remove sediment & then put in 1 drop of chlorine bleach per cup of water. If you boil the water to purify it, transfer it back and forth between two bottles to re-aerate it - tastes better that way.

I am talking something like you saw with the Weimar Republic of the 1930s.

Not to be too pedantic, but the Weimar Republic saw hyperinflation in the 1919-1923 period. They recovered and did pretty well for most of the 1920's. From 1929-1933 they suffered like everyone else in the world, but they did not experience remarkable inflation in the 1930's.

Costa Rica is nice; the people are extremely friendly and productive.

They are now. Wait until Marxism spreads throughout Central America. With the USA heading in that direction what is going to stop it? I spent six weeks in Nicaragua in 1996 on a project for Bell South International. Costa Rica could turn into that sort of hell hole overnight. Costa Rica has no military to speak of, but other players in the region do, like Chavez........

“We should have acted 20 years ago.”

No, 59 years ago, when Sen. Joe McCarthy tried to warn us. Us frogs are now cooked in the pot, about to be scooped out and eaten.

"Costa Rica is nice; the people are extremely friendly and productive. But you had better really like red beans and rice - for breakfast, lunch, dinner..."

In my opinion you don't run anywhere. You stand and fight back. Obama and Reid are cowards at best. Bullies are usually are.

Thank you for posting this for me. As it turns out, I ended up having enough time to do it myself after all.

My German grandfather told me stories about people taking wheelbarrows full of worthless paper money to the store just to buy whatever necessities were available, like bread.

Thank you Obamapelosireid...

Can you install a hand pump on a well?

Funny you should mention that. There is a house being built about a mile down the road from me. There is a water line 50' from this guy's property, yet he drilled two wells, each costing about $20K to drill. One of them has a hand pump installed on it. I haven't met the owner yet, but I've been told he is a retired MD. The house they are building looks like something you would see in a gated community, very high end, but it also has solar panels on the roof. Curious.

I know. They’ve got a pretty good leader in Oscar Arias Sanchez, and a fairly representative government, but no army (only a national guard) to protect their relative wealth.

As long as you can own firearms in Costa Rica, you should be pretty much set.
