Why a Survival Retreat or Remote Farm?
We live in interesting times - According to Mary Meeker, the former Morgan Stanley analyst who now runs analysis for KPCB, the country's cash flow (the difference between government's cash intake and outflow) was negative $1.3 trillion last year, equivalent to $11,000 per household. Cash flow has been negative for nine consecutive years, totaling $4.8 trillion. She puts the United States' net worth at negative $44 trillion, including unfunded Social Security and Medicaid commitments over the next 75 years. Boston University economist Laurence Kotlikoff calculates U.S. government debt, including Social Security, Medicaid and similar programs, at $200 trillion. That's 840 percent of the current GDP.
In the past decade the US Dollar's share of global reserve assets has slid from 72.3% in Q1 2001 to 60.69% in Q1 2011. As the United States continues to run trillion dollar deficits and openly monetize its sovereign debt through "Quantitative Easing" there exists the very real possibility of a dollar collapse as US Debt becomes actuarially untenable and the US Dollar continues to depreciate as a store of value.
Who Is Advising Survivable Retreats?
Former Morgan Stanley Chief Investment Strategist and current head of Hedge Fund Traxis Partners, Barton Biggs warns his readers to prepare for a "breakdown of civilization"... Your safe haven must be self-sufficient and capable of growing some kind of food ... It should be well-stocked with seed, fertilizer, canned food, wine, medicine, clothes, etc.
"The best bet for investors may be to buy a farm and escape from the cities, as a prolonged recession could lead to war, as the Great Depression did. If the global economy doesn't recover, usually people go to war." - Dr. Marc Faber - Investment Advisor and Fund Manager
