The Hard Times Begin...

Just wanted to get this up from the blog Life on a Shoestring Budget, because it's scary as hell...

Survive the '08 Meltdown: Part 1:

Beginning on October 1st - next week - the US Army's Third Infantry Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team - all 6500 to 8000 troops - will be re-deployed within the borders of the United States for various police functions. Regular police forces are being deployed for crowd control and peacekeeping functions as well, in managing protests, gas lines and runs on banks, grocery stores, etc. Expect to be challenged every time you go out, be thankful when it doesn't happen.

Holy Moley, Batman!
