They keep trying the same thing over and over, each time expecting a different outcome, or at least their hoping we do. Come to think of it, apparently most Americans do.farawayeyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578277501054242356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715177301783698149.post-89218237535380655672013-08-16T10:19:21.339-07:002013-08-16T10:19:21.339-07:00I don't know Robin....my cats will start beggi...I don't know Robin....my cats will start begging for that turkey food at 2pm, knowing I won't feed them until 5 or 6....<br /><br />It must be good stuff!<br /><br />Actually, better than gold would probably be old silver dollars (smaller denominations), but you are right...as self sufficient as people can be, the better.<br /><br />I may be able to pull off a garden, but there's no way I could butcher an animal.<br /><br />And you have so nailed the whole Socialism process, but yet the poor in America seem to think this time it will be different.<br /><br />There have always been rich and poor....America was the first country that I know if with a solid middle class AND the ability to improve your lot.<br /><br />That dream is shot.<br /><br />LCDiscConnectedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013919800637508392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715177301783698149.post-43445907799852757402013-08-16T09:59:51.559-07:002013-08-16T09:59:51.559-07:00The alternative, as I see it, to Friskies (because...The alternative, as I see it, to Friskies (because I don't see the government fixing this problem, either) is that everyone needs to learn how to grow their own food. The government has been the farmer not to farm for years. Yeah, that makes no sense. I am not going to rant about that right now. Instead, I am going to suggest that everyone, while they are young enough to do it, learn to garden. Become a part of a gardening group. Take the reins of your future by learning how to grow your own food. NO ONE wants to be eating cat food any time.<br /><br />Not everyone can afford to buy gold at the price that it is selling at these days. People can make time to learn how to plant a vegetable garden. Buy the seeds/plants. And plant a fruit tree(s) in your yard, conducive to the climate of your area, that will yield fruit. Accept right now that food will be an issue for you. There are other ways around this nightmare. It sure is easier to start learning something new when you are young vs. old.<br /><br />On the deeper message here: socialism has never worked. Everyone who thinks they will get richer by this redistribution of the wealth is delusional. Each time they talk about it, it isn't the "wealthy" they are stealing from, it is the middle class. All that is happening is that the dividing line between very rich and very poor is getting wider. And who is benefiting? The very rich in government (and the international bankers) who sold this plan in the first place. First lesson in economics: there is no such thing as a free lunch.
