In a previous thread someone noted that in 10 years a generation will have to tend for themselves because SSI and medical will no longer be provided for.
Medical provisions have already started.
In the event of natural disasters, the Gov't has buses, fences, campers, bascially mobile interment camps.
I believe this is trials for what is to come. Remember what they did to the American/Japanese at the beginning of WWII?
In Star Trek DS9, there is an episode where they beam to Earth through a plasma field and end up in 2024.
They had turned the slums of every major city into camps for the unemployed.
The promise of jobs that never came. Health and food relief that never came.
It led to a uprising which changed Earth forever.

My father, a Marine in WWII told me, it isn't Russia, the "Bomb" or being invaded that we will have to fear in the future.
Especially after Patton died. Because he was all ready and willing to go then to put down Communisim.
Which then led to Korea and VM, backed by Russia. Then into Afganistain, which "Good Time Charlie" did behind the schenes arms deals with Saudia. Again against Communist Russia.
He also told me, repeatedly, in my lifetime we would see the US be destroyed by within it's own greed. I think he was a very smart man, and correct.
I turned 55 Wed., I hope I do not live long enough to see the days he said was coming, the days noted above.
I am sorry for my 3 boys that will have to indure it. One of which will not even know I'm his true father. (another long story)
I've said this before, and I stand by what I say.
Money is Greed. Greed is Power. Money+Greed+Power=Absolute Corruption. And that is where the USA is right now.
If you are not greedy, know the powers of money, you have no power, than you are an honest person.
If you have money, than you are greedy, which gives you power, that has corrupted you.
Which defys "The Constitution of the United States of America".
Every "MAN" is equal.
Those that have the power, must use that power to over throw such Gov't that denys the individual or the masses of it's rights set forth by this constitution.
Gun Control, Ammo Control. That is what our current Gov't is putting upon the masses right now, violating our 2nd Amendment Rights.
From City Officials, to the President of The United States, it's corruped by the greed and power of money.
I've attended many city meetings since I now live withing city limits.
And I can not believe that only the greedy and rich attend the meetings, make proposals, and pass them without the citizens vote.
And all for the "Good of the People".
It is a shame that more of the people in every community will not get off there super phones, computers, game machines, or what ever...
And at least attend "ONE" city meeting a month to see what their "Elected Officials" are doing with their tax dollars.
AND THE SCHOOLS ARE DICTATED BY WHAT THEY TEACH FROM K-2YRS OF COLLEGE, BY THIS GOVERNMENT.
Technoliogy may have brought the world together, but it has also distanced us from fundamentals.
I could go on n on. Time to stop.
Go to your next open city, township or county meeting.
Find out exactly what is going on.
Plant a bug, because most of the "Crap" is done behind closed doors.
I left my cell phone called to my wifes's cell phone in the meeting hall last meeting when they called for closed door session.
And listened in the parking lot.
They gave themselves raises because revenues has dropped 22.28% and they blamed the county, whom blamed the state, whom blamed the national econemy.
Basically, as the law is written, houses in forclosure held by banks or realitors, the tax is cut to 10% because no one lives there. No water, sewer, curb or sidwalk fees. Basic 10% of value yearly to give the financial institutions a break so they can sell at a profit.
No jobs, no buyers, no use, it's the Gov'ts fault. They have to deal with the extra paperwork, and a lot these days, it demands more of their time.
So, behind closed doors they voted a raise for themselves.
