Depends on where you live.

I can buy all local grown produce, fuel, building materials. We have fabricators and installers, farmland, water resources, and vineyards.

What else do we need?

Wow you guys know more then a lot of the people I speak to. But Do you all understand the federal reserve is a private bank? It's a complete violation of the U.S Constitution. ARTICLE 1, SECTION 8 OF THE CONSTITUTION STATES THAT ONLY CONGRESS SHALL HAVE THE POWER TO COIN (CREATE) MONEY AND REGULATE THE VALUE THEREOF.


Ex FED chairman Greenspan Admits The Federal Reserve Is Above The Law & Answers To No One


YouTube - Greenspan Admits The Federal Reserve Is Above The Law & Answers To No One

Glenn Beck on the fed

YouTube - Who owns the Federal Reserve?
Again

YouTube - # Glenn Beck FINALLY speaks about the PRIVATE FOR PROFIT Federal Reserve SCAM!




JFK, Ron Paul, Woodrow Wilson, Milton Friedman, Ronald Reagan, and many others have spoken against the horrible Federal Reserve system we now have which is unnecessary because our government can print the money without paying interest to the private for profit Federal Reserve. While our government can print money for free, the families who own the private Federal Reserve have made trillions off of creating the US money.

They loan money to the US government at interest, when our government could print it without them for free. JFK tried to get rid of the Federal Reserve by printing United States Notes because he realized that if private super rich bankers own the Federal Reserve and they loan money to the government, they essentially own the government. The Federal Reserve is the MAJOR reason why this country has declined financially! The Federal Reserve can be abolished and the government can do the same thing by printing money with United States Notes instead of the Federal Reserve Notes. This will save the country trillions! Watch documentaries like "Money Masters" or "Freedom to Fascism" for more detailed info on the biggest financial scam in American History!

China actually produces things, unlike America. So of course they are gonna do much better....not to mention they own most of our debt.

I would hope if we ever do go to a global currency that they would not make the same mistake as we did with the Federal Reserve.

It takes a little effort to find American products, but they are out there. Many of the products from china aren't essentials.

I agree but I know the new global currency will most likely be run by a "central bank" which is just like the federal reserve we have now. Most people dont understand that the fed actually caused this entire crisis!! We are attending a rally to support HR 1207 on April 25th. Hr 1207 would audit the privately owned bank who controls our money value and supply..

Shoes,clothing,tools....and on a more basic level,the basic products needed to produce shoes,clothing and tools.

In our lovely global village it has been decided we no longer need to have the ability to produce the materials needed or in a lot of cases the product itself,a small asian man or woman does it for us....

Just don't annoy their government or it might make life unbearable for us all.

On another note,look around and ask about the seeds used to plant the crops and where the seeds come from.

Made in the USA Products Directory
Still Made in USA.com - American-Made Products for Home and Family
American-made products available at online retailer BuyAmerican.com.
By the way,I am not suggesting you cannot buy American made,I do in fact....of course I pay for it.

I am not sure if you remember this but a few years back it was decided everyone in the Army would go to wearing a black beret(for stupid reasons but that is unimportant here)...well guess where the berets were planned to be made?

NOT in the USA...

When it became public that was changed but uniforms are made in 'friendly nations' using US made material I believe still....

If we needed to quickly put boots on 500,000 more troops there would be a lot of troops with no shoes....

What do you think the solution would be to get out of this huge debt and this financial crisis?
