Not to be a "nooge"...nor a constant harbinger of bad news...but you must wake up to what is going on around you. Things are amiss...and what to do? WAKE UP! Turn off that propaganda tool, aka TV set, and get REAL! It may not be the most comfortable thing to do, but it may save your life!
According to CNN, a record one in 10 Americans get government aid to buy food. That’s over 32 million Americans! Don't become a statistic! Get seeds, put up food, buy in bulk....
According to Bloomberg, the real unemployment rate now stands at 15.6 percent, not the oft-quoted 8.5 percent Maybe this is an area you cannot really control...but, start reducing debt now! Get rid of unnecessary bills, make contingency plans.
According to the Washington Post, the latest job report foreshadows deeper job losses ahead. Again, something that may be out of your control...but, get yourself in a position to deal with a loss of employment by...putting up food, getting more self-sufficient, etc.
According to USA Today, record numbers of consumers are behind on their non-mortgage loans. If you can't afford it with cash...don't buy it! AND invest in something that will last and benefit you and your family's survival!
According to the Christian Science Monitor, student debt levels and defaults are surging. Students owe a whopping $500 billion.
According to Reuters, one in eight U.S. homeowners is behind on loan payments or in foreclosure.
According to Associated Press, tent cities are springing up as people are forced out of their homes and onto the streets. As sad of fact as this is, you must also mentally prepare yourself for the consequences of what this may bring...people may become more desparate...make sure your family is safe!
In other words, despite what mainstream media would have you believe, (another example of how things are: US backing for world currency stuns markets
US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner shocked global markets by revealing that Washington is "quite open" to Chinese proposals for the gradual development of a global reserve currency run by the International Monetary Fund."

you must prepare for a worst case scenario..what is the harm? WAKE UP...and get ready...don't lose hope!

How to prepare for the big one
Discuss: Sit down with your family and put together an emergency plan.
Build: Put together an emergency kit with nonperishable food, water, medical supplies, extra prescriptions, warm clothing and provisions if you need to leave your home. Arrange an out-of-state contact for everyone in case family members are separated.
Know: If you're on the coast, know where high ground is from home and places you frequent.
Drop, cover and hold: Practice dropping under a sturdy desk or table and hanging on; during a quake, you'll be less likely to be hurt by falling objects. If you can't get to furniture, go to a corner away from windows and cover your head.

Severe Texas Drought Threatens Coastal Wildlife
A severe drought gripping Texas is causing unusually salty conditions along the Gulf Coast, upsetting the region's ecological balance and threatening coastal wildlife including oysters, crabs and whooping cranes, the most endangered crane species.
The drought is one of the driest on record for Texas and is currently the worst in the U.S., which has seen persistent dry weather across several Western states, Florida and even Hawaii, according to academic and government monitors. The scarcity of rain has reduced fresh-water flow from rivers and streams into coastal marshes, estuaries and bays that normally dilute the salt content of water from the Gulf of Mexico
The coastal fishing industry also has been hit hard as salty conditions shrink populations of shellfish such as oysters and crabs.
