Can America Survive a Catastrophe?

[Geee]

American Thinker:

Japan has experienced one of the worst earthquakes in recent history, the Middle East is in flames and turmoil, the threat of a war in that region becomes more of a reality by the day, China is flexing its muscle and plans to dominate Asia and the world, the US national debt is approaching 100% of the Gross Domestic Product, the annual federal budget deficit will exceed an unimaginable $1.6 Trillion and the current leader of the United States, safe in his plush bunker, is without a clue and is more interested in his re-election and the trapping of office.

President Obama either fails to understand or is deliberately oblivious to the fact that the major responsibility of those in government is to be certain a country is capable of surviving a worst case scenario such as war, massive economic downturn or a catastrophic natural disaster.

It has been predicted that California has a 99% chance of a major devastating earthquake in the next 30 years. The central part of the United States extending to the east coast, in an area that has recorded four of the largest earthquakes ever in North America, could experience a cataclysmic earthquake sometime in the next 50 years. The cost of these events may well be in the multi-Trillions of dollars.

The economy, so wedded to the world financial structure and socialist economic policies, has a very high probability in the short and long-term of repeating the wreckage the country has recently undergone.

Yet the current regime in Washington D.C. does not seem to understand or care that the policies they are pursuing will leave no margin for error in the event of an apocalyptic natural or man-made calamity.
