[QUOTE="jdagreek, post: 1763275, member: 14916"] You asked "Are you guys really THAT afraid of the government? Are you really THAT afraid of the future?" Personally, I think you asked the wrong question as I don't think it is the government that you necessarily need to be afraid. I think it is the actions of the government that will fuel the serious events that are surely ahead of us if we don't make some seriously tough decisions and do it very quickly. The Federal Government is totally out of control. We haven't had a budget in the last three years and most likely won't have one in the near future. Federal spending is absolutely out of control. We have a President who isn't interested in slowing down the spending and isn't interested in solving problems. He is only interested in stirring the pot of unrest. The only thing holding the financial system together is the Fed's low interest rate policy. With the dept we now have and the impending cost of the Obama health care along with impending failure of the SS system we are poised for massive default. At some point in time, the Fed will be forced to increase interest rates. When this happens the service of the Federal debt will drive massive restructuring of Federal spending. The options are massive tax increases or massive cuts in entitlement programs. The inflation fires will be ignited and we will find ourselves in deep trouble. My view is that the most productive of our citizens are so busy working that they don't have the time to reflect on what is going on. It is the social unrest of the likely pending financial crash that you need to be asking about. I am 70 years old, have worked all my life. I have poopooed all the dooms day theories for my whole life ... until the last few years. Guns and ammo are flying off the shelves at a rate hardly seen in our young history. People are scared and they are arming themselves. In my view, it isn't the government coming to get you and/or your guns you need to fear ... it is the massive social unrest caused by the failure of the government to deal with our financial issues you need to fear.
