“Looks like middle America is thinking going Galt is a better and better idea...”
For different reasons, but in the same manner, the Soviet Union ceased to exist. When the USSR imploded economically, the people decided it was over - and it was.
Read it. Starts slowly, but it was worth sticking the first few chapters out.
I know of at least two people locally had this same exact scenario take place and there has been multiple stories on the Phoenix news — same thing. Something clearly stinks. When I heard it the first time I thought the person was fudging something in their story.... now...... I need a clothespin.
>>I don’t care how nice these people are, I don’t want to pay for their HAMP-whatever so they can live in a nice home on a golf course.<<
False; just like tax cuts “cost” the government. They borrowed money from a bank that the bank was willing to gamble on. They repay the bank plus interest. Whether they do it for 30 years $7% of 40 years @ 3% makes no difference.
The only person on the hook is the person borrowing and the bank. Sure, one may make the argument that the bank is lending deposits from other people, but we as a nation save very little.
Nope - it is Unintended Consequences - I dug out my copy and looked it up.
RE: Your tagline ... “and 500 rounds for each rifle”.
Totally agree with you, every program the government comes up with is 90% scam to get someone elected. Why people can't figure this out is mind-boggling.
RE: Your tagline ... “and 500 rounds for each rifle”.
Make that 10,000 rounds per rifle.
You’re one of the few who recognize this.
I remember that day, watching the live reports come in.
Struck me that the real reason was government could not issue paychecks for lack of funds. No pay, no workers, no bureaucrats, no government.
This disgusting treasonous govt is intentionally crashing the system.
Exactly!!! That is the bottom line, and “We The People”, damn well know it.
playing by the rules is nothing but a sucker's game.Just so.
Much of the problem we are suffering from is that the younger crowd went out and voted for Obama.
You can also thank your friends for this.
Its not just the younger crowd, its the yuppies, the guilt ridden whites, the govt employees, racist blacks who vote 95% dem no matter what, etc etc.
Death is highly under rated as a motivator. Looter death will solve the problems
At that time, we had a large satellite dish. Much live news was on unscrambled pool feeds with no sound or captions. By total accident, we surfed onto the feed for for the USSR.
We saw large, burly men in their 50s methodically building barricades out of broken concrete and small cars. Several of them would surround a car and lift it into place along a pile of rubble and assorted machinery odds and ends. In every back pocket and sometimes in every hand, were clear glass bottles filled with yellowish liquid that had rags stuck in them. These were being taken somewhere and stashed, because we would see the same men passing again in front of the camera, first empty-handed and then with more bottles. No one was smiling. Everyone seemed to know exactly what they were doing. Had this been America, I would have identified these men as union thugs.
It was fascinating and educational.
Then why is the fed/gov involved?
This HAMP program is cosing taxpayers money!
At 10,000 rounds per rifle, you need to have a couple of spare barrels, too.

That's how Liberals behave at G-20 gatherings, and will behave 100x worse in the coming months.
Prepared Patriots will be waiting for their rioting hordes outside the urban war zones, and they won't get far.
