The Greatest Depression Has Begun?

@Echelleg: GREAT JOB MAN!! Keep prepping and I am sure you will be OK. Being in Arizona, you do have firearms to protect your family and preps if it comes to it? One more thing, Arizona, you might want to make sure you have PLENTY PLENTY of water in your preps. **wink**

God Bless and Keep Prepping!!

@Echelleg Just keep doing what you can. Be smart and plan to get the most for your precious $. I would repeat what Klayton said "you do have a firearm"? I would hate to see you have the preps and lose it to someone who wants to take them from you. It can seem overwhelming at first, but please ask any questions you you need to. There are many on here that would love to help you with ideas and suggestions. You have found a site/community that will offer you help if you ask.

Echelleg, I felt a huge sense of relief and the "freak out" factor eases with each prep we make. I got my wheat grinder in the mail today. My wheat order hasn't come in yet, so I have nothing to grind, but still, I feel a sense of being better prepared. :D

"The troops should all be brought home,but there are no jobs for them, it would just be another million taking out of the system, either in pay cks or unemployment." - Crossbow said this. I wanna change the subject a little here and get some opinions and thoughts. What are your opinions on returning vets being able to collect benefits for PTSD? I for one think that the gov is handing that out like candy on Halloween. Sure, some of the rturning soldiers saw some heavy stuff and may not be able to adjust (and may never). But I had a friend (notice I say 'had') who came back from Afganistan. He wasn't infantry, he was in some sort of communications...away from the action. He told me upon return that he was going to "...tell the Army shrinkers what they want to hear and I'll get a monthly 'milk money' check". I nearly threw up. I kept my feelings about it bottled up until one day it came out when I bumped in to him at the store. I think the gov is handing ot too much money too easily for things like this. The Army shrinkers should have known he was full of ****.
I dunno. When I read what Crossbow said this popped in my head and wanted all your opinions.
