Well, even though I think you guys are overreacting I think it is a good idea to plan ahead. And maybe a little overreacting is what we need to get things back on track.
Like my wife and I had discussed... worst case scenario... this is what we feel is wise anyway. This is what we want anyway.
I did not vote for Obama, I voted for Bush...twice.
But Bush was a joke of a president. He is the worst Republican president in history.
The situation we are in is bigger than two-party politics. In fact, I see very little difference between the donkeys and elephants nowadays. The republicans seem to want a little less of anything the dems want.
A little less abortion, a little less spending, a little less environmentalistic frenzy, a little less government control....yada, yada, yada.
This situation was conceived in the idea that we Americans "deserve" certain things.
That we deserve the newest cars, a second home, multiple credit cards and name brand everything. This attitude infects us to the core. It has poisoned the very heart of our government.
For gosh sake, what was GW's advice to American's after 911? What did he think would defeat terrorism? Spend! Spending!
You were unpatriotic if you weren't spending.

I voted for GW because I thought he was the lessor of two evils...Study the fall of Rome and no matter which vision you read about how they fell, you will see America.
Corruption in politics...check
Immoral society...check
Invading foreigners...check
In fact it's funny that one of Rome's down-falls was that they took in a poor neighbor as cheap labor and they eventually rose up against the Romans.
Rome was enthralled with the warrior mentality too. They loved their wars. They loved their war games...they loved their violence.
They were a pagan society driven by non-Christian ideals.
The worshiped men as gods. They idolized men.

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
China won't be calling the USA debt anytime soon, because without America buying her goods she collapse. So, if China calls our debt and we collapse, China get the double whammy of the lost of it biggest market and our debt payments.
The last thing China wants is her masses of people out of work!!
But you are right we are not doing well, the world economy is actually in danger.
