The mass migration of people is a little apocalyptic to me. Gives me shudders to watch the videos of the seemingly endless hord. The pictures of Syrian refugees also creeped me out.
I’m not at all happy with the way things seem to be going. Food is getting SO expensive. I am planning for unrest. I just hope and pray I don’t get killed by my own GOV. When I refuse to surrender all firearms while in a “state of emergency” Marshall law situation like Katrina

6.2%? 

Of total govt spending



I couldn't find the break down between mandatory and discretionary for 2018, but its going to be pretty close.
Mandatory

 

discretionary



The thing is with "mandatory" its only that way because its mandated in law, but much of it is still socialism. and e spend a whole lot more on socialism than even 10% of the total budget.
Experience is the hardest kind of teacher, it gives the test 1st and the lesson after.

Courage is knowing it may hurt and doing it anyway.
Stupidity is the same.
This is why life is so hard.

Good god I hope not.  Another 20 years of our experiment with injecting direct democracy into a constitutional republic has caused more destruction to the American dream than any other single thing.  So long as people keep electing people who promise to give them things at the cost of others,  there is no turning anything around politically.  How many more trillions do we really want to rack up in debt while we play around with socialism?

I agree, I feel it too.  Events are accelerating.  I feel like something big is about to occur.  Maybe one year maybe two, don't know but that's my feelings and why I prep.
