Good time to be a survivalist

After watching the news what with the rising price of gas, foreclosures galore, a continued uneasiness about the war but more specifically our leaders on the Hill I think it's a good time to assume there will be no benefits upon retiring. Forget Social Security that will probably be all dried up before you even know it. What really ticks me off are the people we elect to positions of power who I thought were looking out for the best interest of America. Only after they retire or resign and write a book do we really get the answer on how they felt while in office. "Oh, I couldn't sound any alarms at the time because it would have met my career" and stuff like that. I am convinced that everybody (okay....most) are only in office to serve their best interest and could really care less about those who elected them to their posts. Same goes for those appointed to positions of higher. Cynical? Oh yeah.....and a little bitter too. Now would be a good time to stock up on provisions and save all that you can. Assume there will be no one looking out after you and take the initiative and look out for yourself.
