One thing is certain. We could enter major crises, and the Washtowel will insist that we continue wasting assets on it. They once praised someone for wasting $600 a boasting session on helicopter rental when they couldn't otherwise attend the boasting sessions.
Hence, you are going to see the EPA regulations on gas and electricity kick in (in phases) during 2011 and 2012, making a fake energy crisis. At the same time, the debt this country is in is going to blow up in our faces, most likely in the form of a Treasury selloff just before a major Treasury auction (in response to a small but unexpected spike in oil or silver). This will spark hyperinflation. Panic buying of food and gas results, and the dollar becomes Zimbabwe style. In other words, toilet paper.
While this is going on, the Washtowel Slaveholdery will start hitting on the importance of not diminishing our field circus in response to "Satan". They will claim that you can slap Satan in the face if you pio-sneer, or increase your wasteful field circus, just when commodities are becoming unaffordable and scarce (even if you do manage to get all your toilet paper money into gold and silver before, if there is no gas or food because people panic buy it or price controls create shortages, you won't be able to get it at all). That "Use your valuables in praise to Jehovah" crap will get them. The witlesses will continue obeying the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger instead of putting their money in gold and silver. Result: When they no longer can keep it up because they totally run out of money or can't get gas at all, the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger will beat up on them even worse.
Hey, at least they won't be able to have machines to extort donations. In hyperinflation of the magnitude I foresee, the dollar will fall in value by a sextillion times. You can stuff the Worldwide Pedophile Defense Fund with all those dollars you want, but it will be worthless (it will take a billion freight trains worth to buy a loaf of bread). And, the last I knew, it is pretty hard to donate silver via a debit or credit card--all you can donate is a promise for silver, which will be welshed on because there won't be any silver to make good on.
