Imagine you were the President, and I had a proposition for you...what would you think?
Imagine you were the President of the United States of America. And you needed some money. So instead of having to go to Congress for the authority to print more money, you instead came to me. And I tell you that I will give you any amount of money that you want, and that you wouldn't even have to pay me back. The American people eventually will pay me back. And because the citizens don't like taxes, we decide that instead of it being a direct tax, it will be an indirect tax caused by inflation due to the fact that you're letting me print more money. So I print a trillion dollars for you, give it to you with a nice big bow on it, and say, here you go. You spend the money, and it trickles down into the hands of your people. Now, people are jumping for joy, because there's more money in the system and everyone appears richer. And even though the value of the dollar will go down since we just added a trillion extra dollars into the system, it's no big deal, since the people will never realize that they have to pay a hidden tax due to the inflation. In addition to this, since most of the money is going to be in the form of low interest bank loans, the people and businesses will have lots of money to borrow and be locked in a lifetime of servitude. Eventually, Mr. President, every big corporation in the world will be owing you money. So, if you were the president, what would you think? You get all the money you want, and because my hands are getting dirty, you don't need to tarnish the delicate system of checks and balances. Plus, as an added bonus, you'll make the economy look better, all while secretly ripping off the very people that fall in love with you. Sounds great, right? Now imagine if you were that American citizen or business.

Not a good idea, you cant just print of money and say oh look money. The German's tried that in WW2 it ended in bring a wheel barrel full of money to buy bread. When you print more money its value decreases, so if I were President i'd say no to you. - Damian S

How well do you think my story is?
How well do you think my story is?
I want to have an honest opinion and changes if possible. Thanks!! :) Days 1-5 Belgium I will first travel to Brussels. It is the country capital which is located in the middle of the country. The people that live there are French, Dutch or German from what I know of. Most of the people speak German or French and that means I would have to study a little German or French. The others speak Dutch or another language. One of the famous sights that I will go to is The Grande Place. It is south west of Brussels. The sight is a building and a garden changes every two years mostly made by flowers. Some times early in the morning, salespeople sell the same flowers in the garden. That is the first place I would want to go to. The last place I would want to go to is the Centre cartophile de Bruxelles. That is the souvenir store were I can buy agricultural samples of soil, rocks, statues, etc. The life expansion for most people here is an overall of 79.22 years. For male it is 76.06 and for female it is 82.53 years. They are very healthy and live a long time from what is says. The food production is pretty low considering that permanent crops are only 0.69%. Most of the food source comes from factories and small farm owners. The natural recourses are mostly construction materials, silica sand, carbonates. The downfall to that is they will maybe soon run out of the natural resources like they did with coal. In 1830 Belgium finally gained independence from the Dutch. This country has been good so far on its own. The average person in Belgium would make around 1000 to 2000 euros or 2900 us dollars in a month. The employment is very successful. Belgium imports mainly machinery and equipment, chemicals, diamonds, pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, transportation equipment and oil products. The exports witch is the natural resources are world wide and associate with everyone and country. When I do get there I really need to exchange my United States money for euro. That would be 68 cents of euro from one United States dollar. That would mean I would cut my money in half technically. I would have to spend about six United States dollars for a sandwich. Belgians have a couple religions and forms of Christianity. I would like to see how they worship their god and have celebrations. There are still some bad parts of Belgium but the people are making it better by the second. The country is still very rich in wealth and feeling. I would like to see how that happens when they see someone who looks, believes, acts, and talks differently than them. There are many air ports so I can get home and to think of it, it is almost like a second America but in deferent ways. I just hope I can get to a different airport on my journey into a different country, state, city and town in the 5 days given to me.

Smoking Segregation!?
Smoking Segregation!?
Ok, see now this really pisses me off. We are American Citizen's, well I hope everyone whose reading ths is, anyways we are Citizen's of the United States of America, and smoking is leading to a segregation. We are almost unequivocally segregated from the rest of the country. Think about it for a second, You are outside smoking a cigarette, 20 to 30 feet In most states, how many disgusted looks do you get from the "Good" law abiding citizens of the U.S? I'll bet you 75% of those people look at you with a face that make's you feel like an outcast. and not only the looks that people give you, but the remarks & gestures as well. Why does it have to come down to the government taking away our rights as an american, and not allowing people to smoke in there personal car, in a bar, or in designated smoking sections of a restaurant. I thought The United States of America was supposed to be "The land of the free, & the home of the brave"? not......."The land of the segregated smokers, and the home of the absolute monarchy, dictated by the Non-smokers". I dont know why I am posting this but I just think the govenment is not only taking our rights away to smoke, but our rights as an american too. The Lung Cancer reasearch facilities that are all trying to work and find a cure for lung cancer only get a small portion of our tax paying money, Why?... Because the United States believes we brought cancer upon ourselves, so we can deal with it. Okay government, what about the large number of Lung Cancer Patients that have never smoked a day in their life, but have got it either through genetics, or job related? Did they bring that upon themselve's, No they didn't so why should they have to deal with it? Im sure I will be getting mesages from American's who disagree with me, but i could honestly care less, because you know what, we as American's have the right to freedom of speech, well at least for now, until they begin to complain to the governmnt how they are tired of hearing about this topic. So If you have anything you would like to add about how you feel on this topic please do, I would sure like to hear what other "AMERICAN" Outcasts like me have to say. Thanks.

Why would that be allowed in bars if it's harmful to other people? Lawmakers aren't outlawing smoking. They're outlawing smoking in certain places, you're still perfectly allowed to smoke. Just not in public places.

Based on voting working people support Hillary as well as Honest Businesses?
No Oil Companies, etc. After tomorrow's WINs on many key states, Hillary Needs Money. I think we are regular people should donate to Hillary and make sure the People voices are heard. Hillary the candidate for the PEOPLE OF the United States of America not the Special Interest w/big pockets. That is why Obama is getting money to try to defeat the people's candidate. That is why the old establishment people like Loser Kerry and Drunk Kenndy suppot Obama (even though he claims he's the one for change) Do you think people's donation can make a difference?

Since Obaama is an Enemy of the State, what does that make Pelosi?
First, let's review some of the "accomplishments of this imported Kenyan/indonesian, U.N. pandering Kenyan surrogate president: (1) Some unknown Kenyan comes to the United States with no natural U.S. citizenship status and manages to be elected surrogate President. (2) A bunch of MTV CSNBC type of lib media trash manage to get a "tingly feeling" running up and down the collective legs of the democrats. (3) He manges to get elected inspite of his cohorts at Freddie and Fanny managing corrupt the banking system. (3) One of his main puppetmistresses, N. Pelosi, is a known anti-American traitor. (4) His aunt is an illegal alien who has the alien gall, like her nephew, to fight her deportation in Boston. (5) He calls the United States an arrogant country in plain view of out enemies across the globe. (6) He has undermined the security of the Unted States by printing money in order to devaluate U.S. currency. (7) He is guilty of extorsion by forcing individual states to accept devalued "stimulus" money and forcing them to relinquish their individual rights, which is a flagrant violation of the U.S. Constitution. (8) He is guilty of the government attempt to take over private business in the United States. (9) He is guilty of jeopardizing the security and the coallition between the United States and Israel. (10) Obaama, and his corhort concubine Nancy Pelosi, are guilty of aiding and abetting the enemies of America in the mid-east. Lol.

Its the end of the world as we know it, and I'm feeling fine.?
Its the end of the world as we know it, and I'm feeling fine.?
I strongly believe that the United States of America, my home, is going to go through another depression. We heavily rely on oil to fuel our cars, make our tables, run the machines that make everything you see around you, and much much more. Without oil, we have a million new problems to fix. Although fixing those problems now and before are/were good ideas, the government has chose to go into a war to get more oil, rather then to find many MANY alternatives or find ways to use it less. That is facts, yes there is hybrid cars that run on electricity, but it also takes oil to make the electricity, as well as all the car parts. Believe me we haven't done nearly enough. My point is, the US has spent nearly a trillion dollars on the war, yes a trillion.... 1000 billions, and is.. get ready for it.. ---> Approximately 13 TRILLION Dollars in debt (Sourced), to other countries, and much much more in promised benefits such as social security and others. Maybe you remember all of America's money being backed up in gold at places such as Fort Knox, well that ended a long time ago if you haven't heard. It's now backed up in "The promise of the American Government". But, as always with a promise, sometimes you just, simply, cannot complete it. Like if you promised a relative you would see them, but you missed your flight, there is nothing you can do. Same with the government. So now, the countries that we borrowed from "China, Russia, and a few others", are probably going to want that money back. If the do ask for it back, and we can't pay them. America is not going to just say "Oh, yeah invade our country and take all our stuff". No, America will do whatever it can to survive, even if it means getting the nation mad at the other countries by making them look bad, when all they want to do is collect their money back. I'm not saying I'm on either side, all I am saying is things should be fair. BUT ONTO THE SURVIVAL If the world does go crazy, we need to preserve the good things (much like the doomsday vault), so I will try my best to survive, like evolution suggests, and make a time capsule and bury it so future generations can better understand our history. What are you going to do to survive the (possible) economic collapse? Personally, I am going to live on a farm, grow my own food, away from big cities, because if the food supply runs out, people will raid farms. Supplies I am going to buy before this all happens, and their estimated prices- Stockpiled amounts of seeds- $200 A book about Biology (To study, and put in the time capsule), I prefer the Campell and Reese one, it is very detailed and is the book used in my AP class- $150 Books on how to grow crops, make soap, make toothpaste (if possible, otherwise stockpile toothpaste), treat wounds, survive in the wilderness, hunt, fish, and survive on a limited income, I know this is quite a list but it will be worth it- $500? maybe around there. A good rope, for rope bridges, and many other things, so very very useful- $150-$200 Bullet-proof vest, I hope it NEVER have to use it, but it could happen- $800 or (approx $2400 with specialized plates). Probably pick the $800 one if I can't get enough money. A complete ACU, BDU, black camo, and hunting outfits- $900, I could use these for hunting, surviving hard times, and other things, NOTE- I would never impersonate someone in the military, they are used by the military and can be purchased, they are VERY reliable. Hunting materials (traps, nets, etc...)- $400 maybe? Hunting Rifles- 2 rifles at about $1,200 each for all accessories. ($2,400) I won't name brands tho. A Pellet gun is quiet and useful for small game- $80 Rosetta Stone- A language software program, for one language its approx $700, I might get 2 but am planning on one at the moment, French or Spanish, just incase I have to go to Canada or Mexico. Clothes, jeans, shirts, sweaters (A good sweater can save lives), and a good jacket- $600? This next item is more of a luxury, but, a really good rifle- Check out the second link in the source section. It is approx $6,500 for the gun and bunch of accessories, it is low maintenance as well. I do play COD and if you do you might notice it is VERY similar to the CheyTac Intervention system. I would never shoot anyone with this gun, I don't think it would get that bad, but I would have a shotgun and/or pistol for self defense, don't go trollin on me :). Target practice and hunting are what I would use it for. And just the fact that its a sexy gun :) Other stuff I might need- $800 (Notebooks, house supplies, little stuff) It adds up to about (Based on math from notebook earlier)- $12 or like $5-6 without the rifle. That's, at minimum wage, and 40 hours a week, 48 weeks of work (1 year about). I am 17 at the moment and jobless What are your thoughts and recommendations? To curious, I tried to state that I know life isnt COD, I mean if anyone plays COD then tries to buy a gun, its like EVERYONE thinks there immature and going to try and shoot people. Its exactly opposite, my addiction to guns has led me to COD, not the opposite way. I love bows, arrows, guns, knives, hunting, and killing (not humans of course). Its just my personality. Its a fine gun tho. Thanks man

We're already in a depression. I do think it is the beginning of WW3, and global warming is taking it's toll. I give it another 50-100 years. As for planning, that's smart, but I just take it as it comes, Id rather die anyway than live like some weird hermit like that book The Road, I think it's called.

first off, I think it's great that you're thinking of this because it may be necessary some day. Don't know about soon, but maybe. Another thing is, I don't know how accurate your numbers are concerning prices. I mean if you think you need rope to build rope bridges that's fine but you will need a LOT for it. You know? Though it seems like you've done your research. Also, I hate to tell you this but life will never be COD. I wouldn't recommend looking at guns and such based on a video game. I think at 17 you can get a job. So if you are so sure this is going to happen, then maybe you should get on getting that money soon, because prices only go up. Don't be offended of my critical way of saying my opinion. Hope I helped.
I strongly believe that the United States of America, my home, is going to go through another depression. We heavily rely on oil to fuel our cars, make our tables, run the machines that make everything you see around you, and much much more. Without oil, we have a million new problems to fix. Although fixing those problems now and before are/were good ideas, the government has chose to go into a war to get more oil, rather then to find many MANY alternatives or find ways to use it less. That is facts, yes there is hybrid cars that run on electricity, but it also takes oil to make the electricity, as well as all the car parts. Believe me we haven't done nearly enough. My point is, the US has spent nearly a trillion dollars on the war, yes a trillion.... 1000 billions, and is.. get ready for it.. ---> Approximately 13 TRILLION Dollars in debt (Sourced), to other countries, and much much more in promised benefits such as social security and others. Maybe you remember all of America's money being backed up in gold at places such as Fort Knox, well that ended a long time ago if you haven't heard. It's now backed up in "The promise of the American Government". But, as always with a promise, sometimes you just, simply, cannot complete it. Like if you promised a relative you would see them, but you missed your flight, there is nothing you can do. Same with the government. So now, the countries that we borrowed from "China, Russia, and a few others", are probably going to want that money back. If the do ask for it back, and we can't pay them. America is not going to just say "Oh, yeah invade our country and take all our stuff". No, America will do whatever it can to survive, even if it means getting the nation mad at the other countries by making them look bad, when all they want to do is collect their money back. I'm not saying I'm on either side, all I am saying is things should be fair. BUT ONTO THE SURVIVAL If the world does go crazy, we need to preserve the good things (much like the doomsday vault), so I will try my best to survive, like evolution suggests, and make a time capsule and bury it so future generations can better understand our history.

Personally, I am going to live on a farm, grow my own food, away from big cities, because if the food supply runs out, people will raid farms.

A good rope, for rope bridges, and many other things, so very very useful- $150-$200 Bullet-proof vest, I hope it NEVER have to use it, but it could happen- $800 or (approx $2400 with specialized plates).

-Don't stockpile too many seeds- they won't grow after a couple years in storage. Find out how to gather your own seeds from plants you already grew. Got to be a book on it somewhere. -AK 47's are really durable and only 4-500. They will take down anything you're hunting or needing to protect yourself against unless you live in grizzly country. Don't forget to get plenty of ammo- by the case is cheapest. 50 Cal. are fun but overpriced and would do much more damage to anything than really needs to be done. -Dry, clean, cold wood ash is good for brushing your teeth with. Make sure to rinse well or lye will form and burn you. You do need lye to make soap though, so can get it from soaking wood ash overnight. -A $4 coat from the Salvation Army saved my life as I spent 2 days along the road in N. Dakota in a blizzard once. Forget about fashion statements if the world is ending, just get what you need to keep warm. Get something that looks too nice and someone will want to kill you for it.

Well, it looks like you have put a lot of thought into your plan. I would, however, suggest that you make some modifications. It makes sense to take reasonable precautions, but your thinking is a bit extreme. If the US debt collectors come calling, they are not going to carve up the country looking for their share. I think it is much more likely that they would ask for a more aggressive repayment schedule. This would involve dramatic reductions in a lot of sectors: military, social security, basic services, etc ... This would be a lot smarter and would give them a much better return than liquidating US assets and getting a "pennies on the dollar" re-numeration. Such a scenario will play out over the next decades, not years. Even if the US economy does completely collapse, it is not going to be complete anarchy. You will still have some producers making food, clothing, etc ... It might involve some pretty lean years. But to address your purchases, here are my suggestions: Farming: Good choice, but where are you going to get the farm? Are you just going to put a stake in the ground and start plowing? Last time I looked, most of the land in the US was already spoken for. That is unless you were planning to take it forcefully, which dramatically increases your risk. I think a better idea would be to go into agricultural studies and try to become a farming assistant. That way, in an agricultural or basic economy, your skills become much more valuable. Stockpile of seeds: are we talking about nuclear winter here? Unless you are talking about a global cataclysm, there are probably going to be plenty of seeds lying on the ground. Skip this. Books on biology, hunting, farming: a little knowledge never hurts ... make sure you read them though. Rope: can't see anything wrong here. Make sure one of your books tells you how to use it. Bullet-proof vest, $6500 gun: ok, this is getting into crazy land now. If people start going crazy and killing each other, then this looks like a good investment. I think it is highly doubtful. Skip this unless you really think the economic apocalypse is going to turn into a zombie apocalypse. Or if you are crazy enough to think that deers are packing heat ... Hunting stuff: go ahead, but start learning how to use it. Find yourself a hunting buddy and start learning how to hunt before the economic meltdown hits. There is only so much about hunting that you can learn from a book. Even if the world doesn't end, you have found yourself a hobby. Rosetta Stone stuff: a little knowledge never hurts. This is fine. But don't count on using it for an economic apocalype scenario. The mexicans aren't going to be coming up to take your land. Clothing: never hurts to be prepared. Some stuff that I think you missed ... Water purification tablets. These are good on an emergency basis. Clean water can sometimes be hard to find. A knife. Maybe this is assumed if you are going hunting, but it is not on your list. This is necessary for cleaning your kills. Emergency gear. This includes a first aid kit. Good to have in any scenario. Multi-tool like a swiss army knife. At least get a screw driver. All-in-all, I would say go ahead and increase your knowledge. Getting some survival skills and having some emergency supplies on hand might save your or somebody else's life someday. I would suggest, however, not to go overboard. The world isn't going to end, so don't live your life in fear. It doesn't make any sense to plan your economic future on a worst case scenario.
