HOPE if you want, but prepare for the worst.........from Rico

Things are worse than we'rebeing led to believe. Of course, the government 'jiggered' the way statistics are calculated/reported in order to allow themselves to give "official" numbers with a straight face.

Most people don't know any better, and some people actually believe that (a) the government is 'looking out' for them, and (b) always tells the truth. Of course, they are not only naive, but horribly wrong.*

"Real" unemployment today is 22%.

"Real" GDP is

"Real" inflation is 6%.

Collars and cuffs don't match, do they? This is clearly NOT what we 'the great unwashed' are being told by the MSM and our phoney-baloney politicians.
- They do not want to 'scare' or 'upset' us chillun's! [Or risk their empty-suit, fakey jobs.]

We are in for the likes of nothing any of us has seen in our lifetimes.
- If you don't have a few extra cans of 'Spam' around, or some 'lead' (ammo)....well, then you can HOPE all you want, but you won't be prepared for the worst, and clicking your ruby slippers won't get you 'home' to Kansas (though I doubt friends of Dorothy or pelosi-democrats (C) will be very welcome there when the SHTF).
