I stumbled upon a random blog post today with some downright sobering truths on it.
The United States federal budget for 2009 is $3.1 Trillion ($3,100,000,000,000).
There are about 303,824,646 people living in the US right now.
The United States government is planning on spending around $10,200 for every person living in the country. Where do you think this money is coming from? (Hint: it's not from some place that actually exists.)
It seems like there should be some sort of insights I should share, but I'm still a bit staggered at the moment. Can anyone really think that this unchecked spending is justified?
Our government is out of control. All they can do is spend money they make up. Gold and guns, people - start investing.

Oh my gosh. Our society and economy is getting out of whack. Before you know it, a pencil or a burger or something could cost more then ten bucks. But I must ask-why, exactly?
Why what?
Why will a burger cost more then $10? Why are our society and economy getting out of whack? Why should you buy gold and guns?
Why what?

If you buy gold, then wait for the economy to crash, then, buy all the land you can, lastly, hope you can wait it out till the economy stabilizes: Landowner=rich
It's an economic plan that has held true since Joseph tried it in Egypt! Except he horded wheat instead of gold... Maybe horde coffee? Ice cream?
Actually, a coworker and myself have decided we would like to try brewing beer.
It keeps well, it's got the calories to keep you alive, and alcohol is one of the first luxuries many people will look for one of their basic needs are met.
Plus, it's darn tasty and I imagine my friend and I can find good use for it no matter how our economy turns out.
So you know, I'll have that going for me, plus I think I'm going to start storing piles of canned food in my basement.
