Rather than a typical listener question show today I decided to bring together 5 news events that were sent in by various listeners. The first one is not that obvious as to why it applies to the other four but I bring them all together at the end. We also bring in a recent 5 minute speech from Congressmen Ron Paul today.
Join me today as we discuss…
- Azle Texas is out of water due to a single line breaking and needs help from 15 cities to fix it. - (Link to the source story)
- Social Security and Medicare are both currently bankrupt according to Gary North - (Link to the source story)
- Paying off the National Debt is now “mathematically impossible” - (Link to the source story)
- In 2009 the Federal Reserve bought 80% of its own securities - (Link to the source story)
- Video warning from Dr. Ron Paul - (Link to the video) - note the audio is very soft in the video, I boosted it and played the audio in today’s show

So today we are going to discuss my view of what we can expect from the economy in the next few years and what we can do to prepare for it. I will tell you why I think 2010 is actually going to look pretty decent and on the other side why you shouldn’t take that much comfor in it. Then next week we will take a day to compare my view to the view of many of the experts such as Jim Rodgers and Gerald Celente.

In an effort to provide more “what you can do” action items I decided to do a show today on common foods we eat every day and mostly can buy in any supermarket that will store well. I though in a lot of ideas of what to do with this food day to day so you can eat what you store and store what you eat. I finish up with how long term storage meats from providers like Mountain House compliment this approach very well.
I am also continuing with a current events intro segment prior to housekeeping again do to positive feedback from yesterday. You get three rants and three auto rants today. On the rants we have Susie Orman my favorite useful idiot, The Today Show piece on urban survivalists that I turned down and “Plan C” a plan by the Fed to dump another 3 Trillion Dollars of monopoly money into our economy to bail out commercial real estate.

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.

Episode-176- Money Equals Debt In Our National Economy [35:05m]:
Play Now |

OK so now down to earth prepping skills today instead with all the new people I felt we needed another show on the economy, more specifically how the money supply works and why every dollar is actually a certificate for debt.
This is important to understand because modern survivalism is about building a sustainable lifestyle. Not “saving the planet” but building a life that you can sustain if times get tough or even if they don’t. Debt is the number one thing that enslaves Americans today and the number one cause of divorce. On a national scale money and debt are actually one in the same, ever dollar in your pocket is a certificate for debt.
This is the cause of “boom and bust” no matter which president we have. It is why inflation must return and by understanding it you can structure your life to mitigate the risks to you and your family.
Tune in today to hear…
- Why when people call our currency “monopoly money” they are right and what the game can teach us about the economy
- Why this economic problem is possibly more dangerous to our children then to us
- How money works in the US economy, it probably isn’t how you think it does
- What the founders did to control the money supply and how far we have gone away from that
- Why we every had a “gold standard” and the reason leaving it behind has created fake money
- Why every dollar in your pocket isn’t money but a certificate for debt plus interest
- Why running your household as a microcosm of the government enslaves so many Americans
- Reconnecting to the wisdom you had back when your thought you were broke, rather then today when you really are broke and simply have more stuff
- Why if no one owed anyone money in the US, there would be no money
- Where those trillions of dollars for stimulus and bailouts actually come from
- Why the system is the problem no matter who is president
- Why we are constantly tricked by the illusion of prosperity
- Why we are in for bigger falls, simply we are going higher each time before we fall
- Falling feels like flying until you HIT THE GROUND

- How the new law about executive pay has no fangs or claws and what that tells us about the motivation behind it
- Glenn Beck’s New Program - “We Surround Them” and how you can be involved
On Storing Food
- Storm kits in Arkansas and Kentucky MIGHT contain samonela infected penut butter! This is why you must store your own emergency food
- Building a basis with rice, beans and pasta and adding variety to that
