I want to be ahead of the curve you so cleverly spotted.

I honestly don't think there is a way without loosing control of huge parts of the country to do it. Of course they may not care either.<br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-7010444973050910602014-06-27T20:45:42.309-04:002014-06-27T20:45:42.309-04:00Matt - I am not sure there will be a contraction o...Matt - I am not sure there will be a contraction on PM's again.

However I would not place much faith in having gotten yours either. As I mentioned to K above I doubt once this country becomes majority minority that the money is going to flow to SS, Medicaid, Pensions etc like it does now.

I would set you budget for that 30 % loss and stash away cash savings, Basic needs for survival and then PMs or hard goods like guns, ammo, fuel for the long haul. If you hang out these sort of sites I hope you have at least a few basics on hand.
