After The Iceberg
What are you willing to get rid of to avoid the inevitable catastrophic debt driven crash that is coming due in the next few years? Are you truly willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that your family survives? Even if it means jettisoning your favourite sacred, political entitlement cow? I am. For the sake of my children I will gladly forgo Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and the empire building military. It's all a matter of simple math and Jacob G. Hornberger, over at the Future of Freedom Foundation breaks it down into easily understandable parable for us.
We're going to hit that iceberg. It's now inevitable and unavoidable. The only question remains is whether we go down with the ship, make it to a life boat or manage to save the vessel.
Ship Captain: Ladies and gentlemen, the Titanic is sinking, but calculations made by our engineers show that there is still one way to save the ship and all the passengers. That’s the reason I have summoned you to this meeting. All of you have brought with you large suitcases containing your welfare-state benefits of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid and your warfare-state benefits of military contracts. Our officials have made careful calculations and concluded that if you will just throw these suitcases overboard, the ship — and everyone on it — will be saved. Therefore, would you please proceed to your cabins, grab your suitcases, and toss them overboard?

Back To The Caves
The Global Warming cultists are out in force and showing their true colours. They won't be satisfied till we're all living in shacks and the factories lie dormant.
From the BBC comes this bit of propaganda from a cult "think tank".

Continuing global economic growth "is not possible" if nations are to tackle climate change, a report by an environmental think-tank has warned.Yeah. China and India are just going to put the brakes on and slide backwards to where they were 50 years ago, in order to placate the cultists and the US will return to an agrarian society with horses and buggies. These folks just continue to show their true faces. Anti-capitalistic Marxism is alive and well in the global warming religion. Their hatred for industry, capitalism, markets and all that stands between us and a return to the caves keeps them warm. In the mean time, I'm going to go and throw another log onto the fire and send good thoughts in the direction of the industrialists that move the world. They may not be perfect, but they are preferable.
The New Economics Foundation (Nef) said "unprecedented and probably impossible" carbon reductions would be needed to hold temperature rises below 2C (3.6F).
Scientists say exceeding this limit could lead to dangerous global warming.
"We urgently need to change our economy to live within its environmental budget," said Nef's policy director.
Andrew Simms added: "There is no global, environmental central bank to bail us out if we become ecologically bankrupt."
None of the existing models or policies could "square the circle" of economic growth with climate safety, Nef added.
