[The Working Man]

Many will just close the doors and stop the financial hemorrhaging. Stash the cash and do something else. Downsize to a level that will permit an extended hunker down.

I think you will be correct in what will happen. On the other hand I expect draconian laws to be passed that will allow the Government to confiscate “Unused and Excessive funds”. Those people are desperate for all the money they can get into their hands.

[Myrddin]

Those "unused and excessive funds" need to be moved out of the reach of the government ASAP. Offshore or in a private vault. Preferably as a hard asset that can't be stolen by arbitrary devaluation. Electronic "currency" will be raided.

So I have to vote for the guy before I can know if the guy will actually do what he says and not what he did?

I’m going to vote for the guy because he’s not Obama, and even though he worries the hell out of me, I just don’t think he is as bad as Obama..

[tallyhoe]

So don’t vote or throw your vote away! Frankly I don’t give A Darn!

[cableguymn]

dude.. relax. have a beer..

I said I’d vote for Mittens.. Telling me not to vote or to “throw my vote away” is kinda pointless at this time isn’t it?

[tallyhoe]

Well don’t complain so much about mittens he is one heck of allot better than what we have now. A Communist!
