When the Sheep are Flying its Time to Run! When I was a young boy I remember my dad (at work) talking with my mom (at home). He said that he was looking out the window and could see sheep flying by his windows. Quick, what do you do? A lot of people might run to the car to grab a camera, most would probably go outside to look. A lot of people upon hearing this would dismiss it as a hoax. But, the few wise people would quickly run to an inner room and brace for the tornado that is about to destroy your building.

It is interesting to me the reaction that I have gotten from some people since I have become more open about my views of our declining economy. There will be many who want to pretend that nothing is going to happen, and if I am wrong then their life will remain unchanged. But there are some who would openly mock this view. I would welcome this kind of disagreement if there was any evidence to point that I am wrong. I would love that kind of hope! But I just don't see it. What I do see is more and more people talking about the potential of the future, and some are saying that the crash that I think is going to happen next year might be coming sooner.

• Glenn Beck, the incredible CNN anchor and commentator compares it to a $53 trillion dollar astroid about to crash into the earth. The link will show you his math.
• The Independent, a UK newspaper, is calling this the Great Depression of 2008. They report on our own governments projections of the highest number of people on food stamps since the program was started in the 1960's.

The Telegraph from India questions whether this is a short term depression or whether it is "deep and protracted". In their eyes it isn't even a question as to if it will happen (same with Beck and The Independent) but how had it will be. Regardless of when it happens or how bad it will happen, there is hope out there for those who feel that the government will fix it. There are already proposals from the presidential candidates offering their solutions. However all of them give the same solution - raise taxes and give it to those who have the least amount. That works when we only have 28,000,000 people on welfare, but what happens when it is 100,000,000 or 150,000,000?

To those who think that the government can fix anything, I would remind you that nearly 2-1/2 years after Katrina that New Orleans still has not been rebuilt.

The sheep are flying...what are you going to do?
