Trying to tip piss out of a boot

What will happen if (when) the American economy collapses? Sarah Hoyt has experienced it, because she grew up in Portugal. Will we go back to the Stone Age, or just the frontier days? Sarah thinks neither.

Things just get dirtier, shabbier, and more unreliable. The niceties of civilization peel away.

First, don’t count us out. We’re Americans. Rising Phoenix-like from the ashes is what we DO. It’s our individual story. Most of us who came here came to build a new life because the old one had crashed badly – economically, emotionally or otherwise.

Americans – self selected, having come here to start again or descended from people who did – look at messes and go “How do I fix this?”

Like Rush Limbaugh, Sarah does not think the progressives who are running the country are competent. I like the way she expresses her view:

Please! These people couldn’t tip piss out of a boot with instructions written on the sole.

Yes, they’re dangerous. Their certainty and their incompetence makes them dangerous.

A crash might be inevitable. Staying down after a crash ISN’T.

The future is not written anywhere. It’s up to you to create. We must be prepared. We must be ready to pick up. We must be ready to rise from those ashes and go forward.

This is no time to go wobbly.
