With the election polls evening up, it looks like there is a real possibility that Trump might win. If he does, life in the good old US of A will change radically.

1. He will let congress cancel Obamacare. Health insurance companies will shed high risk clients like a golden retriever sheds water after a swim. Right now, 90% of Americans have health insurance. A year after Trump we'll be back to the pre-Obamacare 70%, and the ones who get dumped are the ones who are really sick.

2. Congress is itching to shed Medicare. If we end up with Ryan's voucher plan, it's going to get expensive fast.

3. His tax cuts for the rich program will bump our national debt from 80% of GDP to 102% of GDP in 10 years. On the plus side, a massive government borrow-and-spend program might finally bring down the dollar, at the cost of rapid inflation. If he really manages to default on foreign debt like he says, the dollar will turn into toilet paper overnight.

I have never been much into metals, but I think if Trump gets elected it will be time to buy gold and silver. I'm really hoping that congress buys the $650 million debt he owes to the Russians and Muslims. It's uncomfortable to think of the US president's finances being in the hands of Russians and Muslim religious fanatics. He has already said that he wants to give the Arabs nukes, and that would let the nut cases in the Middle East start a nuclear war. If that happens it really will be TEOTWAWKI.

What kind of plans are you making?

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

Your ending question aside... this post appears to be about politics, not self-sufficiency or preparedness.

A. He's not going to win.

B. If he did win we have had crap presidents before, we will survive.

C. If this is your straw/camel's back, more power to you. I wish you the best in where ever you are bugging out to.

If Trump wins I want every one that wants to Bug out to get out.

The better question is where you bug out too? The Middle East, Europe, the far East, Australia? Canada has already said that they don't want winey Americans if Trump wins, so where do you go?

I believe that Trump will win. I intend to enjoy it it.

I find it amusing that people who didn't understand economics were saying much the same thing in 1980. They became quiet within a relatively short time.

None. I emigrated seventeen years ago.

It has been clear for three decades that a Trump or worse would be in the pipeline relatively soon.

I wish that we could have a rule that a poster be required to make ten posts providing real information on self-sufficiency or preparedness before making a controversial post. Larry Caldwell has done that, but which of the others has?

I won't leave, but I'll be sure to give a one-finger wave to Barbra Streisand and Michael Moore as they do.

With those two gone (and Al Sharpton not far behind them) this country will improve ever so slightly.
