Today we discuss six impacts to the economy that many people are either ignoring or not really paying attention to.  What will the economy do next?  No one can know for sure but the best course is to be ready for any outcome.

Tune in to hear me discuss…

  • Americans are saving more money then ever before, and this is a problem?
  • The seldom discussed aspects of the “Cap and Trade” bill and why it is really about sending jobs overseas not growing out economy.
  • The impact of coming food shortages and how they will combine with inflation
  • What are the real job losses for 2009, one source says 20 Million!
  • Should we “audit the Fed”, yep but we should know the potential impacts.  It might just be chemotherapy for a cancer patient.   Think about the side effects and be prepared for them.

So what are we really doing every day on TSP?  Is it just about storing food, creating self sufficiency and putting together a more sustainable life?  Of course the show is about those things but it also about a lot more.

Tomorrow we are doing a very special episode in honor of our 1 year anniversary.  So today I wanted to inspire you to really think about how you are living, what your goals are and decide you really can take control.  While I hope today’s show is inspirational I think what you hear from fellow listeners tomorrow will be even more so.

Episode-222- Food Storage, Famland and New Currencies

Posted on June 17, 2009 by Modern Survival| 6 Comments
Episode-222- Food Storage, Famland and New Currencies [ 36:45 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Today is sort of a free wheeling show.  I discuss three main topics including money moving to buy farmland, the alliance of BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) nations for a new currency and basic food storage for new survivalists

  • Getting Started with Emergency Food Storage – Starting with the philosophy of “store what you eat and eat what you store”.  Then we expand on building a basis with low cost long term storables from the supermarket.  From there into adding in true long term storage foods such as Mountain House, etc.
  • Next up is this BRIC Nations – Join me as I discuss the actions of Brazil, Russia, India and China as they plan for a new global currency basis.  I also analyze why this alliance makes sense and why we should be figuring out how to deal with the results because they are coming.
  • The final topic today is farmland investing – George Soros and Jim Rodgers are pumping money into buying farmland.  The meaning?  Food shortages are all but assured in the future.  However, I have a compelling case for why this investment COULD backfire if they don’t evaluate land management techniques if the play is designed for long term holding.
