Washington state legislator Rep. Matt Shea (R) says preparation is crucial to get ready for what he calls "the inevitable collapse" of the US economy.
The Self-Reliance Rally event at an Idaho State Park had several speakers encouraging attendees to prepare by gathering arms and ammunition and considering forming militias.
"When it happens, we need to look at this as a opportunity, not a crisis," Shea said. "Who's job is liberty? That's our job."
Shea told the crowd to stock up on ammunition, stay in shape, practice shooting, learn self defense and special tactics.
He related a story from when he was in the military where a superior officer told him to remember an important lesson.
"Be prepared at any given moment to give up your job to do what is right," he said. "You have to stand up for what is right - even if it means you have to stand up to your government," Shea's superior officer allegedly told him.

FYI
Well.
If we would bring back jobs from China, then there wouldn’t need to be any mess.
So.
How about it? American jobs, for a change?
The collapse is coming and may already be in the works.

I’ll just leave this here.
The entire article is short....

Guy makes sense.
It's always a good idea to be prepared. But the economy may not collapse at once, collapse everywhere, or all collapse very soon.
The economy certainly seems to have collapsed in Detroit and some other cities are on the brink. Will the US economy collapse everywhere, and do it soon?
Rome has been in decline since about 180 A.D. and it's still a nice place to visit on vacation.
FYI
Someone in PA said they went to the credit union today and a sign on the door saying it would be closed and no e-banking or mobile service. Technical issues.
Be Prepared!
The RAT communists have been wanting this collapse for years.....remember that IF/WHEN you should stumble onto one after it happens.
An excellent observation. The housing bubble collapsed in the same geographic order it started here in Silicon Valley: furthest away from the big cities first (Salinas, Sacramento suburbs), then worked its way in. People paying attention in San Jose had many months, maybe more than a year, of watching Sacramento deflate to know they still had time to get out at the top.
Haha. The Huffington Trolls are calling for his arrest, no doubt to be re-educated.
Just don’t let those responsible escape.
Google it. The manufacturing jobs are already returning back to our shores... but probably not the way you'd like it. ==> Robots. 3D printing. And USA will probably be the biggest petroleum exporter in the world within 10 years.
That's where the jobs will be...
It’s probably too late. Besides, we have decided that shipping jobs overseas is too much trouble, so we are going to just import the 3rd world labor force. Ugh.
escape to where?
Detroit collapsed because of local laws which are now going national in a big way.
My guess is IF it does go, the entire world will go.
A lot of people think we will wake up one day and be living in a dystopia...
Unless there is a serious black swan event like a nuke going off in NYC or DC or both, our "collapse" will be a slow death spiral...month in, month out slowly choking on our own cultural and spiritual death and failed DC policies until we are a mere real banana republic...living a second world status
...and it will still be Bush's fault...
