Could the Bail-Out Spell Personal Disaster for YOU?

Which ever way the Federal Government ultimately chooses to deal with the problem of the Wall Street Bail-Out, there are potentially painful days ahead for you and your family.

Washington could decide to let the market work things out naturally, letting banks and other businesses declare bankruptcy and then allowing a short time for the market to adjust and return to a more nominal level. There will still certainly be a term of economic and emotional pain from a few months to a year, possibly longer.

Or the government could decide to arbitrarily bail out the markets and by so doing begin the process of propping up the prices and wages of the nation.  If so, we may find ourselves in for a long ride on the pain train. It may take a little longer but the pain will eventually reach us tax payers. We could experience the same level of hardship (if not greater) than what was experienced during the Great Depression.

In either case it is fundamentally important that you are adequately prepared to deal with either painful situation. We advise that in whatever circumstances you find yourself, that you do whatever it takes to buy your family at minimum a 6 month supply of food.

You may ask, “Why should I get a 6 month supply of food? I can run to the store.  Even if there was a run on the store, I could just run down myself and get enough to last until the store re-opened.”

Let’s talk for a moment about food and the system of credit that it revolves around. We will simplify this a little bit. The Farmer sells his produce to a distributor, but the distributor rather than paying cash for the product, will most likely negotiate terms with the farmer, say 30 day terms (NET30), which gives him 30 days to pay for the produce. Meanwhile, the distributor takes the product and sells it to a retail store, and they likewise desire terms with credit, so they purchase the food on NET15 terms from the distributor. Then the Store sells the produce to the end consumer, they pay off their net15 terms with the Distributor and then the distributor pays off his debt to the farmer. Everyone has profited through the use and extension of private credit.

But what happens if the market is volatile, specifically, that the value of the dollar is inflating at an extremely rapid rate? So quickly in fact that it causes the Farmer to wonder if the dollars he sells his produce for on credit will be worth that much at the end of the 30 days. What then? The same thoughts go through the Distributor’s head; that it makes potentially more economical sense for the farmer to keep his crop rather than sell it. And they all watch as the value of the dollar plummets.

This is a very plausible scenario given the time and circumstances that we live in today. If the Farmer looses faith in the dollar/economy of the US, there is the very real potential of having little to no food on the shelves of our great supermarkets. If such a problem arises (taking months or years to correct), you could be left with nothing to eat simply because you didn’t take the time to adequately prepare.

It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark.  It may not be raining now but it certainly is sprinkling! As I said earlier, if you can afford it I highly recommend having at least a 6 month supply of food. Maybe I am totally wrong and the markets will correct themselves, operate optimally, and government will keep its hands off.  But what if that doesn’t happen?  Even if supermarket shelves stay stocked, what if you lost your job because of the economy? At least you would have enough food to sustain your family while you searched for new employment.

THE TIME TO ACT IS YESTERDAY. Avoid as much pain as possible by preparing today for the challenges that tomorrow could bring.  Self-reliance is ALWAYS timely.

If you are interested in growing or acquiring some food storage, I encourage you to contact Joseph’s Storehouse for a professional consultation and advice on what foods are best for you to store.

P.S. Having a little food storage in their homes could have saved lives of many during/after hurricane Katrina who starved to death while they were waiting for someone to rescue themselves from the flood. Don’t become a statistic!

Ron Paul, Opposition to the Bail-out

“Long term, this is disastrous.”

Don’t make the problem worse by encouraging the continued creation of credit. Don’t blame the free markets for this problem. The markets have been regulated throughout the whole creation of the problem.

We must move forward with common sense. Watch the Video.

Cleon Skousen – The Smiling Patriot

Devoting almost his entire life to the promotion of principles of good government. Cleon Skousen is on of the Premier Pyro’s. He has written dozens of books on the subject of good government, and the founders of our country. Cleon was a country boy, but serving by J Edgar Hoover’s side in the FBI and as a Chief of Police for several years gave him a great base to understand the serious threats that lay in our way.

His efforts along with many other Pyro’s ignited fires within the people of this nation and created a wellspring of love for this country that helped us pull together and avert the great storms that were upon us as a nation at the time Jimmy Carter’s presidency. We owe him a great debt for his great service and ability to see and expound on principles in government. he is indeed among the highest and brightest of men that have lived in our modern times.

Many of Cleon’s works can be found at skousen2000.com.

Ron Paul – Old Reliable

A modern day Statesman, Ron Paul has shared principles of good sound government far and wide. Early in the 2008 Presidential campaign, he was a very popular candidate and put up quite a fight against the average establishment foes.

Although his presidential race is over, he continues to share principles of liberty and good government as a congressman and through inspiring others to grab hold of the title of liberty and learn the truth.

He has started the Campaign for Liberty movement and has released many books including his latest “The Revolution, A Manifesto“, Three Cheers for Dr. Paul.

Sounds like Insider Trading to me!!

Representative Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) gives a stirring and impassioned speech about the effects of the bail-out and her feelings on the inequity that was occurring during the creation/writing of the bill.

No Bail-Out

We along with many of you are, I am sure, ecstatic about the US Congress voting down the market Bail-Out bill. This action could have produced many far reaching negative effects that we have not seen the likes of since the great depression.

Proponents of this bail-out bill imply that not passing the bill will provide for a greater banking crisis and a frozen credit market, making it impossible for small businesses to function.

Does the very logic not make your stomach nauseous? The thought that the majority of small businesses are only running on credit to fuel their success seems like a very frightening predicament indeed. We have drifted so far from the place that we started over 200 years ago, Hard Work, Saving, Wise and Prudent investment, making the most of what you had in the world and finding ways to create the most value with what you had at your disposal. This process created some of the greatest minds and influence that the world has ever seen.

Now it seems that a great majority of business owners are plagued by that very disease that created this great mess in the first place. The excessive use and abuse of credit and manipulation of the market to keep the rate artificially low, making it cheap and readily available. This situation unfortunately will always lead to malinvestment, and degradation of the market. As we clearly see evidenced.

So while Washington seems more than ready to point the finger at the market, or those predatory lenders, etc… Let us remember that the ones that they seem not able to point a finger at, themselves and the Federal Reserve, are those that are at the core of this problem, and without making changes specifically to the regulation or elimination of the Fed. This problem will just continue to rear its ugly head again and again until we learn our lesson and cut off it’s head.
