We need to “Go Galt.”

I’m ok with America crashing now. I’ve come to terms with the inevitability. Let’s get it over with so we can start to re-build.

Is Texas and OK going to secede? Somebody call me. I’ll need a place to stay when we get there. :o)

Stop all spending on non-essentials and build your war chest. It will help you when you most need it and it denies it from the moochers.

In 2008 I went into Fiscal Hibernation Mode^TM. Since then, my checking account alone has climbed from 15k to 90k (I'm pouring huge amounts into my 401(k)). I'm not getting any interest on it, but I can do without the whole hundred dollars I might get from that. My savings will happily stay asleep and grow quietly.

I know that at least one hand-wringer will say, "Obama will confiscate it." No he won't. I'll withdraw and bury it first, or burn it at Wyatt's torch. That's not a realistic danger.

My vacation will continue to be at home and my shopping will remain at a halt to the largest extent possible. I will do for myself rather than pay a low-income "service industry" Obamabot to do for me.

That’s what needs to happen. Obama, and the American electorate who put him there, need to live with their choices. Let Obama’s decisions play out, even if it means letting the US go over the fiscal cliff.
