America! Land of the free...stuff

Boston University's Laurence J Kotlikoff informs us that there's not an ice cube's chance in hell that The Gap---the difference between government spending and goverment income ("govt income"? makes it sound like they somehow earn it)---will EVER come together. He says that congress would have to cut discretionary expenses by 143%...(rimshot). Either that or we can just double taxes, on those who actually pay taxes, of course. That leaves those of us in the middle pretty much screwed, since 50% x 2 = ???? Actually it equals the mathemagically fuzzy logic utilized by those hysterical soviet economists and policymakers.

Time to trade in some of those soon-to-be-worthless-dollars for some precious metals, MREs, bottled water, medicine, tomato seeds, whatever---take your choice, anything'll be worth than paper---dig yourself a hole in the backyard (assuming you have a backyard) and deposit anything of worth which you own. Because you can bet your bottom worthless dollar that the gloves will come off when Uncle Sam demands EVERYTHING of any value which you own. And, of course, you'll be a selfish, "America-hater" if you so much as whimper and beg them to leave your babies at least one of those cup-o-noodles they're loading into the fed vans.
