Another track that proves this is all man made and for a reason, oil prices. There will be no jobs till cheaper energy is available and the smart guys won't let us drill. Yet they let other countries come in and drill in the gulf. The signs are clear from schools on up the chain that we have been set up for a revolution. Still how will this change your preps and plans?

You didn't mention my biggest concern. We have exported too many of our manufacturing jobs and they aren't coming back. Our great industrial centers which once supported the middle class are gone. Not just Detroit, but steel, can't drill for oil, natural gas, can't build refineries, can't build nukes, tearing out hydroelectric dams, can't cut timber in the West which shut down the sawmills, woods jobs, log trucks sales, maintenance and jobs, our fisheries are severely restricted - you name it, our ability to create new wealth is shot. Those jobs aren't coming back.
We are exporting $1.5 trillion dollars a year for oil, lumber from Canada, steel, fish, even produce, and of course products from China, Mexico, Brazil, India, and even Pakistan (leather goods.) 1/2 of our prescription drugs are made in India.
This is a real disaster and it ain't getting fixed.
