We bought a lot of rice.
Congee can be made with many different ingredients.

No way...We've just reached the "new normal" as in living paycheck to paycheck.

The next little ride is the wiping out of the middle class.

Just because "Republicans" get in doesn't mean we are automatically out of the $hit. They don't have the balls to conduct the type of Federal budget and agency cuts that are required.

We'll get tax cut extensions (nothing permanent) and the looters in D.C. will push this all off until the next couple elections away.

He may not have it exactly right but I know of no one except a few numbskull democrats who say things are going to get better before they get a lot worse. We are in for a rough ride and it is time to be prepared for it.

Isn’t Schiff the guy who predicted the recession on Fox business in 2006 and they all laughed at him? I mean he predicted just about everything correctly.

Wayyyyy too optimistic.

We will scavange a radioactive landscape for bent tin cans that we will sell to buy a single bullet so we can end our lives, before the zombies get us first.

Hell....Greenspan understood this way back in ‘66

But like Keynes....he thought the inevitable collapse could be postponed till “in the long run, we're all dead”

I have too. We buy Basmati rice and have been storing it in those big airtight dog food containers. Kept outside in the winter, we haven’t seen any bugs yet!

I’m waiting for my electric rice cooker to come in. My girls love it for breakfast with raisins, cinnamon, sugar and milk.

I can eat it any time.

I’ve heard if you freeze rice (drid beans, pasta, etc) for a week they won’t get weavils.

I’ve got an Indian pantry moth invasion right now and I can’t get rid of them. Someone suggested bringing in spiders to live in the pantry, but I hate spiders.

I have been laying in lots of canned goods too.
Chicken, Beef, Tuna, and of course veggies.

Harry Dent (”The Great Depression Ahead”) also bearish on China because of demographics

Thanks to their abortion debacle, Chinese population will age with not enough workers to support them all

“emerging markets” = countries with high fertility rates - mainly India and Southeast Asia, maybe some countries in South America

Given what is happening, Dent is pretty close on track with his predictions. For 2011/12- Katy bar the door

Make sure to also have a reliable source of water and heat to prepare the rice with.

I’ve purchased rice, and beans. But also *cans* of beans, which are already ready to eat, and include liquid. Make sure to have spices as well — rice can get boring after a couple of weeks.

Your preparation is prudent.
