Your attitude seems to be that of most Americans... "We are America. We will come out OK like we always do, as "we are America". Therefore we don't really need to DO anything... it will all work out OK.. as "we are America"... Naive, at a minimum. Don't bet your last sheckel on it.... this one is like no other.
I would buy farmland outside the Country and leave. America is not the place you want to be in 4-5 years. It will be a fucking disaster zone. Now remember back to 911. What did the Government do in the aftermath? Seized Rights for Security. Same shit next time, except worse. It all comes down to 2012. If Ron Paul doesn't win the nomination, and general election, get the fuck out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not going anywhere. I moved to Texas 5 years ago and never looked back to IL or NY. Plenty of land, Guns, jobs,Oil, ports, our own military, Texas Guard and we are now one of the Top Militarystates, ie: Bases and Defense money. So, when the shit goes down in 5 years or so, Texas will say Fuck You to the FED GOV (Just like we did with TSA today). We will have multiple military bases and many 100000s of Military who will then become part of the "TEXAS MILITARY" and if and when the shit goes down, will establish our own "Republic" once again. We can trade with the world via our ports. We refine most of the GAS and will sell it to the non-united states as the FED GOV folds. We have oil and gas production, Solar, Wind. We are learning to desalinate ocean water into drinking water. We have technology giants in Austin and in Dallas. We have every industry from Manufacturing to desk jocks...service sector. We have major business expansion as we speak. So, while you are correct in your 'End Game' Call. I say get your ass down to Texas as fast as you can. Yes, we have an Illegal Immigration Problem but we are also the number 1 state to benefit from Carlos Slim and the other wealth Mexicans moving their companies, wealth to Texas. Next on the agenda is a Illegal Immigration bill, that will pass the Texas House. FUCK the FED GOV. We don't need them and Texas really needs to start preparing for succession.
