I have given up hope on this stuff
as Trump is simply lacking support anywhere in significant numbers in Congress. They (the House) have already fired back that they are in control of rescinding, NOT the president. So kiss the idea of rescission good-by.
The house will pass the increase to $2K – it will fail in the senate. McConnell won’t allow it, ass wipe that he is. And the republicans have lost their collective minds.
So, the Senate, to fill their “promise” to Trump, they’ll bring it to a vote…..and DEFEAT it.
Here’s McConnell’s statement:
I’ll admit I have no clue how things “happen” in D.C. All I do know is that Trump is outnumbered 500 – 1 and this is all a charade anyway. THERE IS NO MONEY to be doled out or spent. It is ALL printed.
As my wife and I discussed briefly, this is finally the point of no return. The economy can no longer function without significant ongoing life-support from D.C. The deep state has gotten its wish – this spending bill despite whatever squabbling takes place, puts the final nail in the coffin. Best to make as much “money” as you can, convert to real value items (however that rings true for you), get some backup food supplies, arm yourself and find ammo wherever you can (more scarce than finding guns you can buy.)
I tried to buy two guns today. Here’s what I found on the internet: OUT OF STOCK
Now, imagine going to the Walmart or your favorite grocery store to get some food, and that’s the sign on the shelves. The Venezuela disease is now unleashed in the U.S.A.
Or put another way, there are now too many holes in the dike – the flood is coming and precious little time left to prepare.
Meanwhile, gold and silver and copper seem to be gearing up for a Happy New Year!!
I think you are right Boomer
Trump is outnumbered by his own Party
He did the only thing in his power….signed under protest in effect.
I still think he will prevail but it wont be pretty.
I also believe he will prevail but not without (unfortunately) DOD/Pentagon involvement. If THEY don’t have the real dirt – who would? RE: defensive measures – hope those weren’t your first two, maybe consult friends who have already taken steps or if none, your local range admin or non-chain sporting goods/pawn shop manager. At this point it’ll be pricey but realistically they aren’t going to get (much) cheaper (you may also go with the upper/lower FFL delivery route – check out Bear Creek a rms). RE: munition, get on your local classifieds to find private parties who need to raise some cash, few hundred here and there will add up. There are people out there with TONS of private stock. Stay hopeful Boomer!
