We clicked over to Zero Hedge last night for a brief check-in on the decline and fall of civilization. We found these two beauts.
As with many reports in this genre, the logic is weakened by the dismissiveness and arrogance of the rhetoric, but the reports make some excellent points. They're also a fun contrast to endless celebrations of the v-shaped recovery crowd.
To briefly summarize:
Our collective debt is still vastly higher than it was in the early 1930s and in Japan in the 1990s.
Consumers account for 70% of economic growth, and they're broke
The banks are still insolvent, but they're now allowed to lie about it

But a society that kills its infants, engages in a national debate about the economics of nationalizing entire industries, and about the economic necessity of killing off certain members of its citizenship; a nation of slackers and dreamers who don't aspire to tackle challenges that are "above their pay grades;" a nation that sees American Idol and The Apprentice as entertainment or, worse yet, a ticket to the top; [insert your own if you wish]...
...doesn't, apart from a complete about face, stand a chance.
But don't worry, they have a plan...
I will eat the cat before I eat cat food. These kind of articles are silly.
Doomer ranting.
Conservatives will hunt. Liberals will eat cat food.
Eating cat food?
I don’t think so. Cat food is expensive.
Obviously these two don’t own cats (or dogs).
LOL! I was about to write the exact same thing!
I am going to stock up on Fancy Feast.
They already do, I’ve been to hoity-toity liberal parties where they serve it, except, they call it pate. LOL
Good idea...
Squirrel can’t be very good. Must be tough and stringy with all that running around they do. Now a nice fat canadian goose on the other hand, that might make a nice roast. We’ve got tons of them around here and they are so tame you could probably get one to hop right into a roasting pan.
My retributions will be in the form of hair balls.
B F L !
Sorry I do not know what that means?
"We're doomed!"
Cat food? Not hardly! I got potatoes and eggs with ketchup, the cheapest thing on the market. plus I had a good garden this year.
My own chickens, eggs, even bought eggs are cheap! Plenty of squirrels, rabbits (traps made and ready!) RA-coons, deer(if someone doesn’t beat me to them). Lots of other people’s “slow elk”, if I don’t get caught.
I will eat “Hoover Hogs” before cat food! Have you ever seen what is in that stuff?
Plus plenty of edible weeds if necessary. Lamb’s quarters, Polk weed, ect.

That’s a good idea. Yummy. One can fill ones freezer with them.
How do you think spotted owls would taste?
How about a casserole of snail darters? They are smallish that is why I am suggesting baking them in casseroles.
There is really all kinds of food out there in freshwater streams and flying around in the skies.
The Canadian goose sounds like the best though.
