Who knows if and when it will happen.. but the conditions are right..

We are NEVER going back to a "consumer growth" economy. Planet Earth will not support it.

If only we had a President with a vision for the future and leadership.... but no use going down that road.

All I can say is that it will pay to become a good customer at Harbor Freight and Grainger Tools. Buy books on how to fix things. Get to know your neighbors who raise chickens and have eggs to sell. Get to know where your local Farmers Market is located and what the hours of operation are.

Learn how to bake bread from scratch and how to do home canning. i.e. We will not have corn available all year at the market. You will have to buy it when it is in season and home can it for use at other times.

China will kick our butt very soon. All we can do is prepare.
