Long Repose

It has been a little over a month since my last post. Life has been hectic and I do not think I’ve sat at my personal laptop for more then an hour since my last post. I keep thinking in the back of my mind, while working and whatnot, that I need to post. By the time I get home the thought has left my mind. I will see something while I am out and about, thinking I need to mention that in my web log, and then I will forget it by the time I get home. Well no more, I am starting to write down everything, including my thoughts for this web log. You should see more posts from me from now on. Just don’t expect posts every day, I try my best to avoid computers. I said I am starting to write stuff down and I mean pen and paper style, screw computers.

What has brought me out of my repose was the passage of Obamacare. I believe it passed the house 219 to 212. That is within the half dozen votes that the Executive Order on abortion brought over. I point that out because executive orders cannot go against the law voted on by congress and signed by the president, so if the wording of The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (or Obamacare) supports abortions then the law trumps the executive order. If this was not the case a new president could come in and write all the executive orders he wants to do whatever he wants. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. I personally do not care who is in office or what they pass while they are in office. I just found it amusing that a half dozen house members were hoodwinked by a shell game. Though my personal opinion is they received something of more substance for their votes, other then an executive order, but I cannot prove this nor once again do I truly care.

The main reason I bring up Obamacare is because of the national debt. The website http://www.usdebtclock.org spells it out fairly well, and if it is a third accurate our country is currently in trouble. If that website is to be believed, we may have five years left until total financial collapse in this country, because the numbers keep going up and we keep getting farther in debt. Historically nationalize healthcare is expensive. As far as I am aware, no country that has nationalized healthcare has been able to successfully keep the costs down (more then a few years) to a level that does not add significantly to their national debt. Healthcare in this case may be the straw that breaks the camels back.

With financial collapse come several problems. This is where survival comes into play. I pray this never happens, I work for the government and they pay my bills, many of my friends work for the government. I am out of more then just a job if our economy collapses. I need to have a way to survive, and I started the process years ago. I am not worried about myself or my family in case of a financial collapse or any other manmade or natural disaster. I am prepared should the shit hit the fan (Airplane! (the 80’s movie) visual flashing through my head here). I am worried and pray that you who read my web log (along with others too) will survive. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best and nothing will ever touch you.

In the next few posts I will cover basic preparedness. Sort of a how to guide on what to get and why. There is always something I have forgotten and each persons situation is different, so I give you warning that it is not an absolute how to guide. Comments are always welcome, and I personally am always learning.

More to come…
