So today I am on the road taking the RV up to Arkansas so there isn’t a new show but there is a rebroadcast of a show from August of 2008, I did this to expose new listeners to some of the early days.  It is also in response to a lot of recent questions about how I was able to call the 2008 crash.

Today I think we need to really begin to think about individual food production.  I 100% meant what I said yesterday about fearing future food shortages and as a result skyrocketing food prices.  America was once a “nation of farmers”, yet I think that statement gets misunderstood.
