There is another rumor floating around that Obama is going to decree that anyone holding more than 3 days of food will be declared a HOARDER.

That brings up many questions—

Mormons hold a minimum of 1 year of supplies on hand, some even more.

I am on social security and I am certainly NOT alone in that status. I get my ss money and go to the stores and do all my full month’s shopping, except for milk.

I try to keep my driving to a minimum, for the cost of fuel and the maintenance on my vehicles.

IF I am held to a 3 day supply of food, I will have to make 10 trips a month to the grocery store. Since I am alone, that will be a very short list of purchases. It also will cost me about $160 more a month in fuel—I go 49 miles round trip for my meat and main supplies. I will actually be spending more on fuel than I will be spending on groceries most months.

Then there is the problem of what constitutes a 3 day supply for a single person? A dozen eggs is more than a 3 day supply. A loaf of bread is more than a 3 day supply. A pound of butter is more than a 3 day supply. A jar of strawberry jam. A jar of peanut butter. A bottle of vegetable oil for cooking. A bag of flour. A bag of sugar.
A can of coffee. Even a single roasting chicken and certainly a turkey is more than a 3 day supply.

Hunters put their deer into the freezer.....more than a 3 day supply. How about a farm that puts a couple of lambs, a yearling beef and lots of chickens into a freezer for the coming year? Is there a single brain cell working in Washington??

Then there is the matter of INSPECTIONS by the Obama Gestapo. That should be very interesting!!!

I realize that I was only thinking of food.

A package of toilet paper is more than a 3 day supply. Bottles of shampoo. A single bar of soap!! Laundry soap. A bottle of Windex. A roll of paper towels. A package of trash basket bags. Ziplock bags. A package of copy paper. The cartridges for my printer. The ribbon in my calculator!! The tractor feed paper for my other printer.

Holy Crap!!

This is just like Hitler and his cronies who devised enough laws that a person cannot go thru one single day without violating the laws!!!
