What if One Day the Dollar Crashed

This is totally a fictional story that can be reality if the Government continues to overspend.

So what could happen if one day the paper money we have in our wallets became worthless? And we suddenly our IRA's, our stocks, and bonds become worthless? How would we survive such a sudden turn of events?

On miniscule aspect would be our entire way of life would change. Gone would be the days of "Living the American Dream" for one. There wouldn't be electric, gas, running water and so much more. Therefore the days of playing video's games, tv, computers, sporting events, and the normal daily shopping sprees.

Our buying means would be our assests. And i'm talking about real assets like fruit, vegetables, guns and ammunition, water, and gold and silver.

I think its a good time to prepare for this catastrophic event, even if it doesn't happen in our lifetime. I challenge women to learn how to bake, can, and garden. I challenge men to learn how to hunt, fish, and other things that can be useful in a post-industrial society.

So how would society in general respond to this event. I'd assume there would be a very high crime rate, with robbery and murder having the highest rates. Our country in general could have 2 or more scenerios. We could live under a Facist, Communist like regimes, or a Military Dictatorship. Heck we could live under the current Democracy with Sheriffs running everything on the local level, similar to the Wild West.

All of those scenerios are scary with similar outcomes. We would worry about being spied on in every aspect of our lives. Police would most certainly rule our lives. I say this has a 50% chance of happening. I'm not extremely worried about this. But I want everyone to be aware of such dire cirucumstances. Instead of worrying about Chelsea Clinton getting married earlier today, pay attention the real news going on in our country. Since last week there has been an oil leak in Michigan, a dam breaking in Iowa and so on. Lets be an informned society, instead of a dumbed down society.
