And you're arrogance is premature. No one said the collapse would happen overnight. Hell not knowing how old you are it may not happen in your generation............but my ammo, guns and cans of food have a 30+ year shelf life.

Yes, Libertarian. I vote libertarian, and prefer libertarian ideas. I don't have to repeat things to myself about myself. I know what I am. My ammo is as good today as it was before 2007, which is why I did not run into the stores when the media announced the impending end of the world, However, I am sure the dealers were happy to see you rush in to empty the shelves are top-price.

I never said stock market is everything. Why would you make such claim? Just because I mention it, doesn't mean I think it is everything. To me is it quite important at this stage in my life since a lot of my retirement savings are in 401K.

I would appreciate it if you dropped the personal attacks.

I am not a kid anymore, and I have never seen such a complete collapse of an economy as in 2007 and 2008 and it had nothing to do with 911. It is rediculous to try to blame it on 911. I am not even going to get into it.

The unemployment rate is actually 9.9% (not 9%) -and 'Under-employment' at 19.2%

Then obviously you don't understand that the lower number has nothing to do with more people becoming employed byt only that people have been unemployed long enough to not be counted any longer.
